Anyone else follow that? :-) Thanks Jonathan. So is there a config on my
end that needs to be done or is there a config on the mailing list that
needs to occur or is it elsewhere. Seems like it's the mailing list that
is causing the problem to me, but I'm a bit partial. :-)

If I understand it correctly, dropping the footer addition in the
mailing list would solve the problem (though not necessarily a desirable
solution). I say that more to check my understanding then to suggest a
solution.
