HTML email is not necessarily in multipart/alternative format ; it could
be a text/html content-type.

If it is a multipart/alternative message, the header/footer will not be
used (because Sympa would need to encapsulate multipart/alternative into
a multipart/mixed MIME structure).

You can't force convertion of messages to text/plain but subscribers can
set their reception mode to 'text' or 'html' to receive only one version
of the message. In this case, header and footer will be applied.

Currently only one of owner-defined and listmaster-defined header/footer.
We could imagine a way to define multiple ones indeed, but we never had
needs for that.
