	Mailman can be configured to strip multipart MIME messages 
(allowing through just the first part), but due to 
content-transfer-encoding and charset differences, if you have any 
footers defined for the list, it may not be possible to have them 
appended in plain text form onto a message that was converted from 
HTML.

	This is related to the issue discussed in
