Currently Sympa do not add message footer if the message is signed using 
S/MIME. We need Sympa to preserve all kind of signature ; of course PGP is 
concerned. It will be easy to do. DKIM is also a issue but a bit more 
complitated because DKIM signature include some headers that may be changed 
by Sympa.
