I had posted question about this to the cpanel support forum on March 10th
and got 0 responses.  :(

See here:

I keep meaning to email them directly and ask where I can get any patches
they apply to mailman.  Under the GPL, they must provide them.  At this
point, I don't know what they do so I can't say if they indeed patch mailman
to get this (broken) behavior and I (fortunately) don't have many lists
hosted on cpanel/mailman sites so it's not been a high priority for me.  But
it is pretty annoying.

You can edit the HTML templates, replacing '<MM-List-Name>' with the
listname in the case you want it in.  This achieves part of what you want,
but it's not really a fix.
