And what about the principle that you shouldn't mess with the body of a message except for putting clearly marked headers and footers that are obviously not part of the sender's text? Once you start trying to parse the html and put something in it, you're modifying the sender's text, which is evil.
I only suggested a possible solution, whether you or I like it wasn't the topic ;-) As for modifying the sender's text: I disagree. If you do modify it by adding a footer to the HTML message then you modify it by adding a footer to the plain text message as well. There's really no problem to add a ruler and make clear it's a footer. No difference to a text/plain message.
Do I hear a volunteer. Sounds like someone about to break out the text editor and demonstrate what open software is all about.
