[Mailman-Users] Appending User's Email Address to Footer

I am trying to append the user's email address to the bottom of each
email, as shown below:

You are subscribed to <listname> as <emailaddress at domain.com>.

I looked at the documentation on the "Details" page of the Non-Digest
Section of the admin interface, and it says the following:

___________________________________________________________________________

msg_footer (nondigest): Footer added to mail sent to regular list
members

Text appended to the bottom of every immediately-delivery message. 

This text can include %(field)s format strings which are resolved
against the list's attribute dictionary (__dict__). Some useful fields
are: 

real_name 
       The "pretty" name of the list, with capitalization. 
_internal_name 
       The name by which the list is identified in URLs, where case is
germane. 
host_name 
       The domain-qualified host name where the list server runs. 
web_page_url 
       The mailman root URL to which, eg, 'listinfo/%(_internal_name)s
can be appended to yield the listinfo page for the list. 
description 
       The brief description of the list. 
info 
       The less brief list description. 
___________________________________________________________________________


And tried finding the attribute dictionary, both in the documentation
and in the code, to no avail.

I ended up browsing through the code until i found the string %(email)s
in the templates/verify.txt file, as well as others.  This seems to work
fine in  these files, but not in the footer.  

What do I need to do to add this to the footer, or allow this string to
work in the footer??

This is a feature that most other list servers have, how do I do it in
mailman?
