Never did get an answer to this one. Any ideas, anyone?

This is a similar, but different issue to the one below. I've looked through the FAQ, and the archives of the list that I've still got around (400+ messages), but don't see an answer:
Is there a way of interpolating variables within the header.txt or footer.txt files, so that I could use a generic footer.txt for numerous lists?
So the file may say:
To unsubscribe, mail to '$list@$domain' with subject 'unsubscribe'
And I'd like $list and $domain to be expanded out per list. (I run about 2 dozen lists, so it'd be nice to just use one file.)
Has anyone done this?
FAQ #2.11 seems like something in the right direction. Would I have to build the file out of rc.local.s20 every time there was a submission, though? That seems wasteful.

I have tried the Solution in the SmartList FAQ. But, still, there's no message appearing eather as a header or footer.
I have created a file called header.txt and one called footer.txt with the text to add to the message.
I've uncommented the line "RC_LOCAL_SUBMIT_20 = rc.local.s20" from my rc.custom file, and added the following to my rc.local.s20 file:
# # Adding a disclaimer in front of every mail: #
:0 fhw | cat - header.txt
# # Appending a footer to every outgoing mail: #
:0 fbw | cat - footer.txt
I have even tried all the other solutions in the Smart List mailing list archive, but with no result.
Please help,
Thanks

Well filtering and generating things on the fly is kind of how the whole thing works. FAQ #8.10 is a closer variation of what you want.
Otherwise you need to create a static file with the correct listname. Perhaps adding a sed script to createlist that will make a static footer.txt which includes '$list@$domain' when you create a new list?
Just a thought,

That'll certainly be more efficient - even something that wanders over the relevant lists and greps rc.custom to create the footer.txt, run manually when you modify an rc.custom file. No point in doing variable expansion once per post, after all.
