I have just uploaded a patch to Sourforge that allows you to set sitewide headers and footers for the Mailman 2.1.7 web UI, [ 1415956 ] Sitewide headers/footers & XHTML Compliant Web UI
This patch was borne out of a request I received to make the Mailman UI fit the look of the web site. This patch allows you to set a site wide header and footer. This allows you to pretty much make the MM UI look like any other site. While I was at it I also made the web UI XHTML compliant.
Once you patch your source and install it, all you need to do is edit the html files in the templates/en directory. Most of the pages will get the header and footers from the site-header.html and site-footer.html files, but some of the HTML files already contain theor own header/footer so you will need ot edit some of these files as well.
Since this also adds XHTML compliance, this superceeds patch #116035
You can dowload it (and a separate version that works with the ht://dig integration patches) from:
