Then it seems that my only recourse is to alter the c files. Would this work?

1. To prevent the "Thread view" link from being displayed:

In print.c, in fprint_menu, simply comment out these lines, like so:

/* COMMENTED OUT TO NOT CREATE THE THREAD VIEW LINK
**    if (idx != THREAD_INDEX)
**	fprintf(fp, "<th><a href=\"%s\">%s</a></th>\n", thrdname,
**		lang[MSG_THREAD_VIEW]);

*/

2. To change the wording in the link from "Other mail archives" to "Other lists"

In print.c, which seems to be the only place the string "MSG_OTHER_MAIL_ARCHIVES" appears, simply change "MSG_OTHER_MAIL_ARCHIVES" to "MSG_OTHER_LISTS", like so, in several places:

lang[MSG_OTHER_MAIL_ARCHIVES]
to
lang[MSG_OTHER_LISTS]

Does the lang function just convert "MSG_OTHER_MAIL_ARCHIVES" to "Other mail archives"? (Is lang a built in c function, or where is it defined?)

3. Assuming the above is correct, which make command should I run? make clean?
make clobber?
make install?

Thanks again for your patience with my non-C-head questions, but someone in the office wants these changes, and so...
