First of all, the msg_footer is plain text, not HTML so something like

Get Help: <mailto:[email protected]?subject=help>

will appear as that text, not as an active mailto link

It would produce the result you have above, but it would not be an
active link unless the recipient's MUA makes it one. In any case,

Get Help: <%(real_name)s-request@%(host_name)s?subject=help>

would probable be better. Go to the web admin UI Non-digest options page
and click (Details for msg_footer) to see what replacements are
available, and as Barry Finkel suggests, create a test list and experiment.
