See my previous reply at
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2009-May/065944.html>

The above doesn't work for two reasons:

1) You must use %%20, not %20. %20 causes an interpolation error which
is why nothing gets replaced.

2) The footer is in a text/plain message part, thus html tags will not
work because the text is not being rendered as HTML.
