You need to look at the calls to quick_maketext() in
mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py. These are what get the
appropriate template file and provide the substitution dictionary (the
'd' argument) which is specific to each template.

If you want to add substitution variables to one of the archive
templates, you have to add their definitions to the dictionary passed
to quick_maketext() in HyperArch.py for that template.
