[Mailman-Users] Edited pages

Hi again,
	Looking at your post, it would be hard to place the fault of 
the problem at the feet of Mailman. Pages simply do not change unless 
something has changed them. Despite protests from the host provider, 
I would be thinking either upgrade or system restoration or similar. 
I would be thinking that they stuffed up & are reluctant to admit it. 
Wouldn't be the first time this has happened.
	If the host is providing multi-user mailman environs, then 
the locations may well be different. I am guessing that the pages you 
are seeking would be in /usr/local/mailman/templates/en - however, 
this depends largely on the paths the person who set Mailman up with 
used. Hope this helps.

	Bye for now, Terry Allen
