I am fighting a variation of this right now. We have several automated lists from which members can not remove themselves. Due to complaints about subscription headers that would not work, I removed them. The only way I found to do that was by turning off include_rfc2369_headers.

Unfortunately that also removed the List ID header. I had complaints that the purpose of the list, such as "Official college announcements", was not prominent in the message - even though it appears in the message footer. So I faked it by using a message body header.

This led us into the "Outlook displaying the body of the message as an attachment" morass. I have not figured out how to resolve these conflicting desires just yet.....

If I understand correctly the requirement 'ordained', Mailman is
already doing exactly that. The only way to keep the HTML part
'intact' while adding the footer is to add the footer as a separate
MIME part which is what Mailman does.

If this then results in a message which doesn't display as desired in a
particular MUA, the recourse is to the MUA because Mailman has no
other option.

Of course, you could always add the unsubscribe info as msg_header
instead of msg_footer. Then Outlook would display it inline because
Outlook would take it as the message body. The downside is that the
message itself would now be the 'attachment'.
