List of substitution variables available for your headers and footers

• real_name This is the value of the real_name configuration variable in the General options category.
• list_name This is the name by which the mailing list is identified in URLs, where case is significant. In other words, it’s the posting address of the list. (For backward compatibility, the variable internal_name is equivalent.)
• host_name This is the fully qualified domain name part of the e-mail address for this list.
• web_page_url This is the base URL for contacting the list via the Web. It can be appended with listinfo/%(list name)s to yield the general list information page for the mailing list.
• description The brief description of the mailing list.
• info This is the full description of the mailing list.

Note: to create a substitution variable you need %(variable-name)s Don't forget the trailing s!
