If I understand correctly the requirement 'ordained', Mailman is
already doing exactly that. The only way to keep the HTML part
'intact' while adding the footer is to add the footer as a separate
MIME part which is what Mailman does.

If this then results in a message which doesn't display as desired in a
particular MUA, the recourse is to the MUA because Mailman has no
other option.

Of course, you could always add the unsubscribe info as msg_header
instead of msg_footer. Then Outlook would display it inline because
Outlook would take it as the message body. The downside is that the
message itself would now be the 'attachment'.
