No responses from the list, but I found a workaround for now, until I
learn enough Python to prepare a patch.  (Thank heaven for free
software!  Without the source I wouldn't have had any idea where to
start.)

For goodbye messages to work, start the goodbye message with two blank
lines.  The web interface appears to drop one of them, and you are left
with one.  Then goodbye messages will work.

I guess the algorithm that determines where to put the headers in the
final outgoing email gets confused, since wrapping the goodbye_msg
removes the starting CR?  Maybe I'm confused but I think I'm on the
right track.
