It sounds like you're trying to enter Custom HTML.  You should not modify any message codes for this.  Browse to the Custom HTML page you would like to use, click in the textbox and press Ctrl-A to select all.  Hit Delete to clear out the old data, and then paste your new page.  Note that on the Unsubscribe Confirm page you MUST have a message code of the type "Remove Confirm" - a special code used only for this Custom HTML page to output the confirmation button.

Your second question:

> Could you also answer another question for me? I'm trying to make a page

>       email:<br />
>           <input type="text" name="textfield" id="textfield" size="60" sup
> value="email address"/>
>           <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
>       </p>
>       </form>

First you're missing the "list" variable, which is required. Second, that "textfield" field needs to be named "email" and appears to be incorrectly formatted. Third, you do not need to use the 'remove link' message code when creating an HTML unsubscription form.  The var you need to set is "submode" to the value "unsub".  Here's a generic version from the ListMail 'Signup Code' generator:

Code: [Select]

<form method=post action=http://www.example.com/mail/signup.php>
<input type=hidden name=list value=1>
First Name: <input type=text name=fname size=10><br>
Email: <input type=text name=email><br>
<select name=submode>
<option value=sub>Subscribe</option>
<option value=unsub>Remove</option>
</select>
<input type=submit name=sup value="Go!">
</form>

To make the form remove ONLY, take out the select box and set "submode" to "unsub" in a hidden field:

Code: [Select]

<form method=post action=http://www.example.com/mail/signup.php>
<input type=hidden name=list value=1>
First Name: <input type=text name=fname size=10><br>
Email: <input type=text name=email><br>
<input type=hidden name=submode value=unsub>
<input type=submit name=sup value="Go!">
</form>
