I read the earlier message from Peter Mueller about message decoration, and where the templates are in the file system. However, when I edit the header and footer templates in Postorius, those templates do not appear in the location specified. Should I be looking somewhere else?

The templates created in Postorius are created in the postorius_emailtemplate table in Mailman's database and referenced via URLs like 'https://example.com/mailman3/api/templates/list/<list-id>/<template-name>'. I.e., they are not stored in the file system.

(I intend to write a program to rotate though several headers/footers, so I need to know where to have it write to.)

If Postorius has set a template for a list, it has set the URI for that template and list to one similar to that above and that URI ultimately references the template in the database.

You have choices. You can set the templates in Postorius and your program can do database queries to rotate the template text, or you can set the template URIs via Mailman's TemplateManager to file system paths or not set them and use the default paths (deleting them in Postorius will leave them unset).
