The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Mark Sallee <address@concealed>]

Adam,
I've attempted to add these changes to admin.pm, but it isn't working.
Do you have any more documentation or tips on how to populate the
variables in the footer? The main variable I want for the footer is
[%listname%].

I have also submitted this to the Feature Requests for Sympa:
https://sourcesup.cru.fr/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=4632&group_id=23&atid=170

Thank you.

Mark Sallee, Systems Administrator
