It would help if you report the whole error that you're seeing, or if
you're not able to find the error message, precisely what behavior
leads you to think something's wrong.

I'm guessing that the problem is that you have a large number of
format elements without corresponding values to interpolate in the
format string for DEFAULT_MSG_FOOTER.  Double all of the '%'
characters except that corresponding to archive_url and you'll
probably get the result you want.
