From the documentation :

6.20 footer_type 

(Default value: mime) 

footer_type (optional, default value is mime) mime | append 

List owners may decide to add message header or footer to messages sent to 
the list. This
parameter defines the way a footer/header is added to a message. 

       footer_type mime 

       This is the default value. Sympa will add properly the footer/header 
as a new MIME
       part. If message if multipart/alternative, nothing is added (would 
require another
       level of MIME encapsulation). 

       footer_type append 

       In this configuration, sympa won't create new MIME parts but will try 
to append
       the header/footer to the body of the message.
       ~sympa/expl/foo/message.footer.mime will be ignored. Header/footer may 
be
       appendeded to text/plain messages only.

Sympa adds header/footer to every message.
