There are only a few links to web pages in the welcome message, but as 
you say this one, which appears over and over:

<http://home.attbi.com/~lists/seelangs/>

is 404. Alex, would you please post the current web interface link and 
update the welcome message?

The second important link I saw in the welcome message is this one:

<http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/1.8d/userindex.html>

which opens normally in my browser and contains links to the listserv 
manual in a variety of popular formats, including HTML for web browsing. 
The usual procedure for "changing your email address" is to subscribe 
with the new one and unsubscribe with the old one. The relevant section 
is here: <http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/1.8d/user/user.html#2.4> but I 
can't recall the address to which SEELANGS commands should be sent for 
automated processing.


Anything containing the "@" symbol is an email address, not a web page, 
and clicking those (assuming you have a competent mail program) should 
start a new mail message addressed to that destination. For example, 
clicking:

<SEELANGS-Request at LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

should open a message to the administrator (Alex Rudd).

The only other webpage link I saw in the welcome message was this one:

<http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/>

which should take you to our archives, and sure enough it contains the 
relevant link: 
<http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/seelangs.html>. But that 
won't address your issue today.

In general, when asking for administrative help on mailing lists, you 
should prefix "ADMIN" to your message subject as I have done so you are 
sure to get the administrator's attention.

HTH.
