Hi @rm1-uiuc ,

The image you presented seems not generated with the default settings of Sympa.

• The wording will never be as presented in templates by default.
• Sympa by default will never have the color scheme as presented.

Furthermore, I do not understand what the red rectangle (or parallel lines?) drawn in the screenshot represents. Could you please explain?

Is there any further information? If there are no developments, this issue will be closed for the present.
