	Oh.  Okay.  Sorry, must have missed that part.

	The problem is that you'd have to build a complete HTML engine 
into your mail processing program, so that you could determine how 
the page would appear to your recipients.  Then, you could determine 
where you might be able to add a header or footer.

	But then, you'd get into debates as to which HTML engine you'd 
have to embed, which browsers you'd have to emulate, and whether or 
not your HTML engine really does accurately emulate those browsers, 
etc....

	When it comes to HTML e-mail, there really aren't any easy answers.
