Edit The Public HTML Pages and Text Files

Mailman gives you the ability to edit the public HTML pages and text files for your list. Usually, there is no reason to change the default information displayed on these pages, but the option exists should you need it. To edit these pages, choose Edit the public HTML pages and text files under Other Administrative Activities from your list's management web page. Select a page to edit:

General list information page:
The publicly viewable page that contains information about the name and purpose of your list, as well as links for subscribing. Text entered in the Terse Introductory Phrase and Introductory Description will be viewable on this page.
Subscribe results page:
List members see this page upon successfully subscribing to the list via the Web interface.
User specific options page:
This is the page list members see when they click on the link to modify their options for list membership.
Welcome email text file:
The welcome email is sent to new list subscribers.

When finished click the link to the Administrative Interface at the bottom of the screen.

If you inadvertently change the HTML code or other content of your list action HTML pages so that they no longer display correctly, there is an option to reset the content of each of these pages back to the default. To reset your list action HTML pages to default:

  1. Access the list administration website for your mailing list.
  2. Select Edit the public HTML pages and text filess under Other Administrative Activities.
  3. Select the page to edit (General list information page, Subscribe results page, or User specific options page).
  4. At the bottom of each page, under the HTML view window, click the button Restore to default, then click Restore to default again to confirm the change, or click cancel to leave your page as currently configured.
