Are you sure? The problem with the append setting is that it simply 
appends the footer to the end of the raw message. In any message that is 
not plain text, this doesn't really work. In a multipart message it will 
be outside of any MIME entity. In a text/html message it will be after 
the closing </body> tag. But it should be visible if you're looking at 
the message source. Mind you, you appear to be using Outlook and I've 
never figured out how to really see the unaltered source with Outlook.

To work in append, it must use the same character set as the message 
it's being appended too I suppose.
