Is there a reason that Sympa is configured not to attach footers to
messages with multipart/alternative MIME type? I've just discovered
that this is the type that MS Outlook uses instead of multipart/mixed
to send its HTML-formatted messages (don't ask me why), which means
that most of my users will get no footer when composing in Outlook,
which is bad. I want to eliminate this condition, but not if it's going
to mess something up.

Also, here's a related suggestion: In general, one wants message footers
and headers to be included in-line, assuming plain text messages. But
with footer type set to "append", nothing gets attached when a user decides
they want to send in HTML for a change. What we really want is a condition,
perhaps a third header/footer type setting, that always appends to plain
text messages but attaches to multipart messages, no? At least that's what
I want; if nobody else does, I will add it.
