Something that some 'we' could do is ask the python-list 
manager/programmers, or more broadly, the mailman developers, to 
recognize an 'end of message' line, such as '--end message--' and delete 
it and anything appended thereafter.  Then Joaquin and people in a 
similar situation could add the magic line as the end of a signature block.
