Jeffrey,
  I tried what you mentioned but it didn't work.  I created an 
listname.intro file and it just appended it to Majordomo's welcome
message.  I then tried turning off the welcome message hoping it would
just send the .intro file and it didn't.  There appears to be some options
([bool] (yes) <majordomo>) that can be set with the message on/off option
in the config file, at least that's what it looks like.  Should one of
these be set to tell Majordomo to send a different welcome message?  Do
you know what I'm doing wrong?  

Thanks,
John
