You have a few choices. Actually including the file as an attachment to the list welcome message or as a separate message all together would not be hard, but would require code modification, and doing it generically would require a new list attribute for the message. So, you can put it in the list's info which is added to the web listinfo page or put it on the web somewhere and link to it from the list's info (HTML tags work here), and the put something in the welcome_msg text that emphasizes they should go to the listinfo page (a URL is already in the message) and read it or follow the link to it. Or, just put it in welcome_msg. If you're going to mail it to them anyway, what's the difference unless you feel it will distract them from other important stuff in the welcome message in which case, put it on the web and put a URL in welcome_msg. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
