Q: How can a site manager control the lists that are shown in Subscriber's Corner when a user selects "Show all lists"?
Answer by Françoise Becker
VP of Software Engineering, L-Soft
In LISTSERV 14.3, there is a new Web template, VISIBLE-LISTS, which allows the site manager to define the lists that will be shown in Subscriber's Corner.
By default, the Subscriber's Corner will display the non-confidential lists. These are the same lists that are shown on the Server Archives page, with the "Confidential=" keyword set to "No" or "Service".
