I'm not sure what's going on.

The variables user_optionsurl and user_address are only available if
the list is personalized. If the list is not personalized, the
variable interpolation will fail and this affects all variables. I.e.
Non-digest options -> personalize must be set to Yes or Full
Personalization to use those variables. If personalize is not shown as
the second setting on Non-digest options, you need to add

OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION = Yes

to mm_cfg.py.

However, you say that %(real_name)s is correctly replaced, and that
shouldn't happen if the above is the explanation, and I have no other
explanation.
