FWIW,I experience the same problem as jsmith and my preferred language
setting is US English. I'm at mm 2.1.2, sendmail, RH 8.0). I have had to
configure my lists to have no footers in outgoing mail. Otherwise,
incoming messages with HTML cause the footer to be appended as an
attachment in the messages sent to recipients.
Yes, my message was in response to the example that jsmith posted, which was a message of type text/plain (not HTML).
I don't really see how it's possible to have Mailman add a footer to the bottom of HTML email, unless it parses the HTML and tries to add some text at what it thinks is the "bottom" of the rendered HTML.
Remember that HTML is structured, so if we directly append the footer after the HTML body, we get:
<html> <body> My Message Body </body> </html>
-- Mailman Footer Here
and the mailman footer will not even appear! (It's outside of the HTML.)
It's possible to have Mailman try and parse HTML attachments and attempt to add the mailman footer before the </body> tag, but how can Mailman tell the difference between a HTML message, and an attachment that just happened to be HTML in this case? We might end up adding Mailman footers to files that people attach to email that just happen to be of type HTML, with disastrous results.
If you have any suggestions as to how Mailman can safely append footers to HTML email, I'd love to hear any ideas! This is obviously a problem that's been solved before, but to go whole-hog and parse all the HTML in every message to try and stick the footer in the right place seems to be a little heavy-weight to me.
