Language Keyword

Language= idiom|option[,option]

This keyword is not available in LISTSERV Lite.

This keyword defines the language in which information mail and messages are to be sent to subscribers of the list. The postmaster must have provided the required data file (called idiom.MAILTPL, where idiom is the name of the language specified by this keyword) to the server. The default is "Language= English", which uses DEFAULT.MAILTPL.

L-Soft does not provide non-English templates, but you are welcome to create your own.

The "Language= HTML" setting allows you to specify that the administrative messages of LISTSERV (i.e., those specified in the MAILTPL) be sent out in HTML format. You specify either "Language= HTML" or "Language= idiom,HTML" to enable this feature. Note that this setting does not affect the WELCOME or FAREWELL templates.
