[Mailman-Users] Is there a way to change the template files

[lists at viplist.us]

I changed, restarted, but cannot send html email.  It shows up all as html 
coding.

What my clients want to do is to be able to send a html email, for the 
welcome email, the confirmation email, the help email, etc.
