Elvis has left the building...

I.e. putting the code there will only get those messages in which the
mailman header/footer has been added as a separate mime part to a
message not already multipart/mixed.

Starting from the top of Decorate.process() we have several exits:

    # Escape hatch if both the footer and header are empty
    if not header and not footer:
        return

If there is no defined msg_header or msg_footer, we leave.


    # If we couldn't add the header or footer in a less intrusive way,
we can
    # at least do it by MIME encapsulation.  We want to keep as much of
the
    # outer chrome as possible.
    if not wrap:
        return

If we have managed to add the header and/or footer to a text/plain
message, or if the message was already multipart/mixed and we added
the header and/or footer as separate mime parts, we are done and leave
here.

The only thing that gets beyond here is the case where we create a new
multipart/mixed 'wrapper' with header and/or footer parts and the
original message as a message/rfc822 part.

You first have to see whether or not you have msg_header and or
msg_footer for the list, and also what the structure of the incoming
message is. In the simplest case of a single part text/plain message,
you could add the three lines just prior to

    # Escape hatch if both the footer and header are empty
    if not header and not footer:
        return
