Sorry about that, yes they are 'email' templates.  I copied over my lists
directory from the old server.  And then started Mailman.  When I send a
help command to the list, it is not using the template located under the
'en' directory under the list.  It is using the generic template.  What
steps can I do to figure out what the problem is?
