In personalization mode, this kind of information could theoretically persist in the headers (with suitable source-code modifications).
Otherwise, I don't think there's a mailing list manager on the planet that could make this happen.
If you don't personalize, you can't do it. Why? Because with personalization off, you're sending one email in a batch to 1-n users. Since it's one copy to more than one user, then you can't individualize it (makes sense, when you think about it, right?)
So that header is what personalization mode is all about, really -- personalization. turn off personalization, but still personalize?
What I do is use this as a footer:
Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored. %(real_name)s mailing list (%(real_name)s@%(host_name)s) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: %(user_optionsurl)s
This email sent to %(user_address)s
works great with AOL, as long as it's not a digest being reported. That's so rare I don't bother with it.
