I'm no great shakes as a coder so there may be other ways of doing it but I put the following HTML into a web page:
<form target="_blank" Method=POST ACTION="http://www.domain.org/mailman/subscribe/listname"> <center> <span class="pn-normal">Subscribe to our<br> Campaign 2002<br> infolist -</span><br> <span class="pn-title">Working to Win!</span><br><br> <span class="pn-normal">Your email address:</span><br> <input type="Text" name="email" size="15"><br> <input type="hidden" name="pw" value="password"> <input type="hidden" name="pw-conf" value="password"> <input type="hidden" name="digest" value="0"> <input type="Submit" name="email-button" value="Subscribe"><br><br> or <a href="http://www.domain.org/mailman/listinfo/listname" target="_blank"><strong>CLICK HERE</strong></a> for information about the list. </center> </form> See it in action at http://wwwoxfordlibdems.org.uk/ >2.

And I would never do that unless I particularly want to trace something. It's only four extra lines isn't it over and above a lot of headers that your users will be seeing on a zillion other ordinary e-mails? Tell them to switch off all headers. > >Can you help? > Hope that helps Jock -- ************************************************************ * Jock Coats, JC Solutions * *----------------------------------------------------------* * M3a Morrell Hall, OXFORD.
