Mark, thanks for the tips. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the root level of this web site, as it's hosted on another server. I'm almost to the point where I will have my own space on a server with access to the root level for my clients, but until then, I'm stuck.
So, I can't 'see' the mailman error logs or the file system. I can only view the file manager through my FTP program or cpanel. I checked the error logs for the site, but nothing shows from today. And not sure if it helps, but when I try to edit *any* of the public html files for the newsletter list, I get the same error. Thankfully, the previous changes I made to other 3 files remained stored. Any other suggestions?

If you are able to 'see' the file system, you should see within Mailman's structure a lists/<listname> directory where <listname> is the name of your list followed by an underscore and the host domain, and in that directory, there will be a config.pck and other files and (assuming English language) an en/ subdirectory containing your edited templates. If you can, you can look at the permissions of the files and see what might be different about the subscribeack.txt file (which is the welcome message) vs. the html files you previously edited. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
