[Mailman-Users] plain text vs html email (no footers in html email)

Couple of quick questions to the Mailman gurus.
And I apologize in advance if this is not appropriate for this list.

1.  Did my first newsletter post to a 5,000 member list today.
The boss said it HAS to be html and all nice and pretty.
<sigh>
So off it went.  But the footers were not present.  Could not see them.
Do I have to manually insert the footers into the html email we make?

2. I am not an html email person and this may be way OT but
how do you make any .jpg files go into the email in an embedded
fashion?  I couldn't figure it out and used :
 <img src="http://www.domain.com/blah.jpg">

3. Now my archives are active and the first newsletter post is all
html code.  How can I fix that?  Do I manually have to put each
newsletter in there as a real html page?

4. Is there an FAQ for setting up Mailman in newsletter style?
I just did it on my own but would like to "polish" it up a bit if I can
by reading more about how to set it up the right way.

5. If anyone is doing this sort of thing and has any tips for html type
mailman newsletter lists...please send tips to me offline if you could.
(or online if its relevant to this list)
