The only thing I have done is compare the old (1.92) config with the new
(1.94.1) and do not see any difference in the message_fronter.  They
both are configured thus:

# message_fronter    [string_array] (undef) <resend,digest>
        # Text to be prepended to the beginning of all messages posted
to the
        # list. The text is expanded before being used. The following
        # expansion tokens are defined: $LIST - the name of the current
list,
        # $SENDER - the sender as taken from the from line, $VERSION,
the
        # version of majordomo. If used in a digest, only the expansion
token
        # _SUBJECTS_ is available, and it expands to the list of message
        # subjects in the digest
message_fronter   <<  END

If, I am now required to do something here, I have not been made aware
of it.  I have not been able to locate the "news" file that may tell me
exactly what I need to know.  It has been suggested, by this list, that
I download the majordomo distrubution to find this file.  I have looked
at the ftp site and am not familiar with unix .tar files or how to
process them.

It is as clear as mud as to how to set the above config option... could
someone just 'fill in the squares' so I can get this sorted out and move
on?

Thanks,
