The subscriber option is SUBJecthdr. If you want anything other than the
listname, then you use  Subject-Tag=  in the list header.  If the list's
name was ACTION_MOVIE_HEROS, you would probably want to use:
Subject-Tag= AMH, as there wouldn't be much subject field left.

This requires Mail Merge which requires LSMTP as the only outbound mailer.
You must make sure that LSMTP is set up to accept Mail-merge from the
LISTSERV site.  Then add  Mail-merge=Yes to the list configuration.
Create a Bottom_banner template with merge fields, e.g.

>>> BOTTOM_BANNER
