Mailman can strip footers if they are a separate MIME part with a content-type that you don't want to accept for the list. If the footers are simply appended to the body of the mail or if they are added as a separate MIME part but with the same content-type (e.g. text/plain) as the body you want to accept, then Mailman's content filtering can't remove them without also removing the body unless they are in a separate MIME part with a 'filename' with a reliable extension that you can filter on, but this is not likely to be the case. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
