Summary: Footer is Added in Plaintext to baes64 encoded mails

Initial Comment:
When a user sends an email to the list with the
following headers:
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

The mailman software attaches the list footer to the
body part of the message in plain text.  When users
receive the message, they see a string of garbage
characters at the bottom, where their mail client
software tried to base64 decode the plaintext footer.

Mailman should instead check the
Content-Transfer-Encoding header and either: 
(1) append the footer encoded in the appropriate encoding
(2) change the Content-Type header to multipart/text
and add the footer as a separate body part
(3) do not add the footer
