Hi David,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Is there any timescale for implementing these changes?

Not yet and that's too bad. We plan to make it possible, but that must
be done in such a way that former Sympa users won't lose their beloved
preexisting headers and footers in the process.

No yet. That would be done along with the preceding point.

You can prevent list owners from editing footers and headers by tweaking
the edit_list.conf file
(http://www.sympa.org/wiki/manual/list-creation#list_editing).
We plan to convert footers and headers files into templates. This way :
- you could use parameters inside them;
- they could have a default value for any list inside a host or virtual
host.
