My understanding is that this addressing change is a result of enabling full personalization and VERP, but I'm trying to understand just exactly why it has to be done this way.
Mailman supports three levels of personalisation: OFF, ON, and FULL. They choose FULL, which in turn created the behaviors you report. ON may have been a better choice.

With this list, I think FULL was the correct choice. This is the only way you can get the customized footers, etc... that give you direct links to the appropriate URLs you can click on to manage your subscriptions, etc....
My question is not which type of personalization is better. My question is why does turning on full personalization result in this behaviour?

Hi, I get user_optionsurl right in my list footer by setting ON (or was is Yes? 'Hai' in japanese anyway not FULL.)

Full personalization means "this doesn't look like mailing list at all", I suppose.
