You could use
bin/config_list -i text_file.txt yourlist
for the corresponding list.
You would have to provide your text file in mailman config syntax to
this command.

So something like this in the text file text_file.txt would work:

msg_footer = """Some Text to put at the footer.
With multiple lines.
And with tags like %(host_name)s."""
digest_footer = """Some Text to put at the digest footer.
With multiple lines.
And with tags like %(host_name)s."""


This also works for headers.


Kind regards,
