I wonder if MS Outlook can be convinced to inline the footer if we 
specifically add:

Content-Disposition: inline

to the header/footer attachments.

I haven't tested this at all, but this patch to 
Mailman/Handlers/Decorate.py to add Content-Disposition: inline to any 
MIME'd headers and footers may make MS Outlook show the footer in the 
message.  Can you test it and see if this fixes the "problem"?
