I understand your comments below and suspected such an answer.

Let me ask you this, you know what our needs are.

I we were to ask you to code/modify mailman to our needs, would you do this?

No. There is no existing mechanism in Mailman to add replacements or
insert text into HTML message bodies/parts.

Perhaps you have seen the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/84A9> and the
information linked from that about using MIMEDefang.

And will have the same issues as the 'attached' footer or worse will be
treated by the MUA as the message body with the true message body
treated as an attachment.


>Please let me know what you think.


If putting your link with replacements in msg_footer along with the
MIMEDefang solution documented at
<http://stuff.mit.edu/~jik/software/mailman_mimedefang/> works for
you, then you have a solution. If not, there's not much else you can
do without actually modifying the Mailman/Handlers/Decorate.py handler
to modify the HTML message body per recipient.
