One problem with that theory. If you view the HTML message as plain
text, the unsub rubric IS there, so it has obviously been added. Why it
doesn't show with HTML rendering I'll leave to more learned people to
puzzle out.
The HTML and text versions are separate parts of a multi-part MIME

part, as other parts may be images or other attachments. It should in
theory be possible for the list software to work its way though
multipart/mixed and multipart/alternative content types, working out
which to add the info to, but that's not quite so simple...
I suspect in general impossible.
However, an over-clever MUA just /might/ take the signature from the
plain text and tag it onto on the html. But that's just a shot in the dark.
I wonder if a message sent as HTML-only (without a plain text equivalent
part) would have the unsubscribe info added...?
I'm not sure TB can send html-only emails, or I'd give it a whirl. (And
I see your MUA, Mark, isn't plain sailing either :-) )
