LISTSERV sends subscribers a generic welcome message at the
time of subscription. The generic message describes the
list's options and common commands for user.
List owners can provide a list-specific welcome message
that will be sent to subscribers in a separate message
(creating a welcome message does not affect the generic welcome).
Here is an example of a shallow but varied list welcome message
that would be sent to listserv@acm.org.
PUT CHI-Publications Welcome PW=secret
