Are there really so many people out there who are using non-MIME-compliant mail readers that this is necessary?

yes, there are some people out there using MS Outlook or so...
there the footer is not shown in the message, but attached
as a Attachement called ATT00010.txt ...

I wonder if MS Outlook can be convinced to inline the footer if we specifically add:

Content-Disposition: inline

to the header/footer attachments.

I haven't tested this at all, but this patch to Mailman/Handlers/Decorate.py to add Content-Disposition: inline to any MIME'd headers and footers may make MS Outlook show the footer in the message. Can you test it and see if this fixes the "problem"?
