Mailman is adding the footers as a text/plain additional MIME section.That is the right thing to do as it does not know whether the original message is text/html or text/plain. It would be definitely wrong of it to munt up the original message to insert the footer (and even more wrong/amazing at the same time if Outlook could work out what was inserted and turn it into an attachment). The official stance is: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814111 As with all crap behaviours that persist from version to version: "This behaviour is by design." They need to take the person who said that was by design (probably the same guy who thought using Word to render HTML was a good idea) out back. Outlook is due for a good standards-compliant re-think the same way the IE 7/8/9 are correcting the errors of the past. -- David Connors ([email protected]) Software Engineer Codify Pty Ltd - www.codify.com Phone: +61 (7) 3210 6268 | Facsimile: +61 (7) 3210 6269 | Mobile: +61 417 189 363 V-Card: https://www.codify.com/cards/davidconnors Address Info: https://www.codify.com/contact
