You shouldn't edit /usr/local/mailman/template/en/* templates because
they will be overwritten in an upgrade. You should put the edited
templates in /usr/local/mailman/template/site/en/ (which you have to
create) as discussed in the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/jYA9>.

But that's not the cause of your problem. ArchRunner keeps a cache of
templates, so you need to restart Mailman or at least ArchRunner after
making any changes that affect archive templates. Did you do that?

And did that upgrade replace your edited templates?
