Yes, both/either option per-user would be useful.

Yes... I have a Perl script that did that for me when I used
Majordomo. It was in the MTA aliases processing, inserted as a filter
just before the message was sent out to subscribers. Majordomo used
separate aliases for archiving and for delivering to reflective and
digest subscribers, so that worked well. That script can no longer be
used because all of those processing streams are internal to Mailman,
and the filter would wind up putting those sigs into the digests and
the archives.

I was considering a hack in Decorate.py which would just call that
Perl script, or rather, a script specified in the footer configuration
variable, and use the result as the sig. That would make it work again,
but something more 'elegant' would nice.
