Hi,

The place holders listed as available on the "Add new template" page are:

$hyperkitty_url $listname $list_id: $display_name $short_listname: $domain $info $request_email $owner_email $site_email $language

What Postorius version is this? You may be missing some things added in 1.3.11.

A more complete list including the ones that only work in certain contexts is at https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/t... a pointer to which was added in 1.3.11.

The only one that seems to sort of work on my template is $list_id - which displays as "testlist". (I was expecting to see "testlist@example.com").

$listname should be replaced with the fqdn list name like "testlist@example.com" and $short_listname should be replaced with the list name without the @domain as in "testlist". The others should all work as documented. I don't know why they wouldn't. Can you give an example of a template that doesn't get these substituted.

The others just get displayed as a variable. Eg. $owner_email

Have I missed a setting somewhere?

The actual substitution is done by the Python string library module Template class, safe_substitute method. See the doc at https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#template-strings

Note that because we use the safe_substitute method, invalid substitutions don't produce errors, they just aren't substituted. In particular if $identifier is followed immediately by a letter, digit or underscore, identifier must be wrapped in {} to separate it from the following characters, e.g., ${identifier}x.
