I only suggested a possible solution, whether you or I like it wasn't the 
topic ;-) As for modifying the sender's text: I disagree. If you do modify 
it by adding a footer to the HTML message then you modify it by adding a 
footer to the plain text message as well. There's really no problem to add 
a ruler and make clear it's a footer. No difference to a text/plain 
message.
