Thanks very much Mark for your help. I managed to convince my hosting provider to store the edited templates and they work perfectly.
I have another question for you or anyone who knows the answer. Is it possible for the list admin to know when a list member changes his e-mail address? I mean is there a way to send a message to the system admin similar to what happens when a user subscribe or unsubscribe? I need this because I am maintaining members information [names, address, etc.] in a separate system and I need to synchronise the two systems. Thanks once again for your help.
