This section is for removing footers when building digests of the list, and
does not work unless you are running a patched version of 1.94.5. Whether
or not you have a footer in a digest or remove them to build the digest,
depends on the message_footer setting in your listname.config and
listname-digest.config. (See next comment)

I guess the best way to answer this is with an example that I use on my
test list. In test.config I have;
message_footer << END
-
**************************************
To be removed from this mailing list;
mailto:$LIST-signoff@my.domain.com
message body and subject can be blank
or mailto:majorodmo@my.domain.com
with just two words in the body
unsubscribe $LIST
**************************************
END
(note: I have a special alias and perl script to handle unsubscribes)

Another "sample" that I use;
subject_prefix = [$LIST]

And my final sample...
description = a 50 character maximum description of my test list
(note: there are no quotes around the value on the right of the = sign)
