The template for the user options page, named options.html, can be edited as described at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.048.htp>, or it can be edited per list via the "Edit the public HTML pages and text files" link on the web admin pages, but I suspect you're wanting to edit the actual HTML generated by the <mm-fullname-box> tag. This is somewhat tricky as that tag generates the entire 'input' tag for that entry in the form including the current value of 'fullname'. You can't just replace the <mm-fullname-box> tag in the template with whatever HTML you want because then you'd lose the current value to pre-fill the box, so you have to actually edit the code in Mailman/Cgi/Options.py to provide the replacement you want, and if you're going to edit Options.py, you might as well just edit it to require the full name be provided. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
