So I did it. I also added:

self.external_footer = ''

in MailList.py:InitVars()

and

d['external_footer'] = mlist.external_footer

in Handlers/Decorate.py:process() (line 38).

I can set the footer with 'withlist', but the problem is that
previous lists don't have the external_footer field so they blow
with:

  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 130, in __getattr__
    raise AttributeError, name
AttributeError: external_footer

How do I add the new attribute to the existing lists?

Thanks!
