I am pretty sure I can successfully toggle mlist.personalize with
Mailman 2.1.9

$ cat /tmp/configlist.in 
mlist.personalize = 0
$ cat setpersonalization.py
def setpersonalization (mlist):

        print mlist.personalize
        mlist.personalize = 1
        print mlist.personalize
        mlist.Save()
$ config_list --inputfile /tmp/configlist.in testwby
$ ./withlist -l -r setpersonalization testwby
Importing setpersonalization...
Running setpersonalization.setpersonalization()...
Loading list testwby (locked)
0
1
Unlocking (but not saving) list: testwby
Finalizing
$ version
Using Mailman version: 2.1.9

However, I don't get any change in the footers of list messages after
this, nor do I see any new options available in the "non-digest options"
page or in the available special strings in msg_footer.

Any thoughts? Again, I don't have any personalization specific options
set in the main config.
