I used to think this was a Mailman problem too.  Read the HTML email as
plain text (so you see all the tags), and I bet you'll see the footer.
The problem is that Mailman just tacks the footer on after the "</html>"
that ends the message; presumably your HTML-rendering MUA stops as soon
as it sees "</html>" so never shows you the footer.

Solution: don't allow HTML mail!  That solves *so* many problems.  Look
for demime, stripmime, or similar tools.
