This puts me back to my original post... the reason I want to have a personalized footer message in my HTML emails is so that a user can click the link to unsubscribe. Again, we don't use Mailman management for this list. If the user is getting tired of HTML emails, they can click a link and change to plain text, or they click another link and be removed from the list completely. Pretty simple really... we're just giving the user an option on how they want to clutter their inbox.
