The rest of this is mostly off topic for this list. The issue of html footers and/or adding footers to html message parts has been discussed to death many times on the mailman-us...@python.org list and it is discussed in our wiki at <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030707>. Mailman only adds plain text footers to messages and adds them as a separate MIME text/plain part to all but simple text/plain messages.

Gmail likes to compose in html and send as multipart/alternative. If you see a font selection and various formatting icons at the bottom of the composition window, you are composing html. To compose plain text click the downward triangle at the bottom right of the window and select plain text mode. ... > the '-- ' helps indicate what can/should (?) be trimmed from the reply > chain in order to keep it under 40KB.
