See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/84A9>.

If you can get the ISP to enable VERP delivery, the address sent to is
in the envelope sender and the Sender: and Errors-To: headers of the
message in the form <LISTNAME-bounces+user=users.domain at example.com>.

The Received: headers of the message may contain something like

Received: from mail.python.org (mail.python.org [82.94.164.166])
	(using TLSv1 with cipher ADH-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits))
	(No client certificate requested)
	by sbh16.songbird.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 792686900C6
	for <mark at msapiro.net>; Thu, 31 May 2012 23:43:50 -0700 (PDT)

where the "for <mark at msapiro.net>" indicates the recipient. This is
dependent on the MTAs that the message passes through between Mailman
and the recipient.

Yes. This is discussed in the above referenced FAQ. If the message after
content filtering is other than a single plain text part, the footer
will be added as a separate MIME part. Many MUAs will display this
properly in line, but others will call it an attachment. The footer part
will always be somewhere in the raw message and if the MUA hides it
completely (smartphone clients in particular may do this), the MUA is
broken.
