	That's a problem with the way HTML messages have a plaintext 
footer attached to them.  It's very difficult to do this in a 
completely transparent way -- you basically have to build a complete 
web client into the mailing list software so that you can figure out 
just the right place to insert the additional information, then you 
have to decide which web browser you're going to emulate and which 
ones you're going to kiss off.

	Unfortunately, some HTML clients don't deal well with the way 
this is handled in Mailman, and they treat the footer as a separate 
attachment.
