The principle in Sympa is for scenario, templates, to look for :
        1/ list defined (~sympa/expl/<list>/)
        2/ site defined (~sym[pa/etc/)
        3/ sympa default (~sympa/bin/etc/)

There is no header/footer default in Sympa's distribution ;
but a listmaster should be able to define one for his/her site.
I though this was working, but abviously not.

I have coded this in CVS development version :
http://listes.cru.fr/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/sympa/src/List.pm

This won't provide you with the 2 levels of header/footer you expect.
Default configuration will allow owners to define their own
header/footer.

You can forbid header/footer edition in edit_list.conf :
