If the installation has set

OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION = Yes

in mm_cfg.py so that the 'personalize' settings appear on the list admin
Non-digest options page and personalize is set to Yes, then either the
replacement %(user_address)s or %(user_delivered_to)s can be used in
either msg_header or msg_footer to receive either the user's lower-cased
email address or case-preserved email address respectively.

Those replacements work only in msg_header and msg_footer. They don't
work in the message body and they don't work in digests.

E.g. You could put

Opt-in <www.test.com/subscribe.php?id=%(user_delivered_to)s>

in msg_footer. This may or may not be rendered as an active link
depending on the users MUA. You can't put an HTML tag in msg_header or
msg_footer, because it will always be in a text/plain part of the message.

I don't understand what you are asking here, but see the FAQs at
