I think the mm footer should be preceded by a signature delimiter ('-- ').
Is there any reason not to?If there's not an HTML footer option yet, it's probably because you'd need to change the tag structure and/or CSS. <footer>message footer </footer> </html> <div><p>footer Copying and pasting from HTML into Gmail generally causes the message to be imperceptibly upgraded to text/html. Is there a way to tell whether a draft message is text/plain or multipart text/html or? Is there a way to keep messages as plaintext (text/plain) only; as people on these lists seem to prefer? - Desktop: Ctrl-Shift-V pastes as text/plain (Linux, ) - Android: Copy/paste to a memo app, back (strips the formatting), open memo, Copy (Omni Notes, ) - iOS: In addition to indicating that the entire message has transmitted and been replied to in full, redundant and obnoxious email footers are often deleted when replying inline; the '-- ' helps indicate what can/should (?) be trimmed from the reply chain in order to keep it under 40KB. Is 40KB still the mm message size limit?
