[hypermail] .hmrc label keyword

I would like to be able to use "substitution cookies" in the label keyword in the .hmrc file, as described for the dir (and other) keyword. Specifically, I am using the dir keyword as follows:

dir = /usr/local/admin/ba-archives/%y/%M

I want my archive indices to have titles which reflect the month and year also. So ideally I would like to have a label keyword like this:

label = "Blue-Admin List Achives for %M %y"

However this syntax is not apparently supported, at least according to the hmrc man page and my experimentation. So instead I must compute the month and year in the shell script I use to run hypermail, and pass it to hypermail using the -l flag on the command line.

Would it be possible to get the label keyword to support these substition cookies? I am running version 2.1.1. I could not get 2.1.2 to build on my (AIX 4.3.3) system.

Thank you.
