Question about modifying body content

I have a very specific need for a client to be able to track specific  
users clicking on URLs.  I'd like to be able to modify a URL that's in  
the BODY of the message going through mailman to append the  
recipient's email address to said URL.

I know about all of the personalization stuff... and, while we have  
played with putting this stuff in the header and footer areas, it  
would be much cleaner to be able to look for a string tag in the body  
of the message and replace it with the recipient email.

Is this possible?  or, if it needs to be developed, can someone point  
me in the right direction where I can start to put some hooks in place?

Thanks!
JTK

You can do this with a custom handler. See the FAQ at
