 Just curious, but what would be the problem in looking for an html
 message and if the message is html, placing the footer directly in front
 of the </body> tag - or if that is missing, in front of the </html> tag
 - or if that is missing, simply putting it at the end of the message.

 That seems like it would accommodate 99% of the situations discussed
 here.  The coding for that would also be fairly straightforward.

You would think. But many HTML authoring tools (including browsers and MUAs that create HTML-formatted e-mail messages) make it more complex than that. The stuff right above the </body> tag may not be anywhere close to the bottom of the page as it is viewed by the recipient. Or, it may be hidden by a change in font or font color, or who knows what else.


You really do have to be able to parse all the HTML pretty much perfectly.
