How to best disable message decoration for all lists defined for a domain
Hello list.
I have read [1] and [2], but I am not quite sure what the recommended method is to completely disable message headers/footers and subject modifications for *all* lists tied to a specific domain. Being new to Mailman 3, I was actually surprised that there are no configuration switches in the Web UI's settings for mailing lists that allow me to get rid of unwanted message decorations.

Thanks for your input.

It's still a work in progress. You can do it via list settings except for one issue [1]. See that issue and also the post referenced in it's description [2].
To not modify the Subject for a list, on the list's Settings -> List Identity tab, set 'Subject prefix' empty.
To not add headers and or footers, you need empty templates for them. These could be created via the list's Templates form except until [1] is fixed, you can't make empty templates.
You can use the method in [2] to create empty var/templates/domains/DOMAIN.NAME/LC/list:member:generic:footer.txt and var/templates/domains/DOMAIN.NAME/LC/list:member:generic:header.txt files for the domain and language. Then as long as no list specific templates are created for lists in that domain, no headers or footers will be added.

Of course. I did not mean to criticise, just point out what settings I was surprised not to find in the UI.

I actually found a workaround in the meantime:
update template set uri='file:///dev/null' where id=123;
Not that I like to modify the underlying database manually, but it seems to do the trick for now.

Yes, you are right and there aren't any ways to disable decorations. Can you please open an issue on Gitlab?
As a workaround, you can set an empty domain level template for header and footer and remove the subject prefix. There is an issue open on Postorius1 which doesn't allow empty templates, you need to add at least a blank space to create a template, which should result in similar looking message.
