They are only attached once. ;-) The part that's annoying your subscribers is included by your posters. A mailing list should not touch the message body provided by the poster, unless there's a specific rule against it (such as executable programs and pornographic images) -- that's too likely to cut important, desired content. > [T]he footer just continually stacks up at the bottom of subsequent > emails. Is there any way to avoid this scenario? Get more courteous subscribers! ;-) Otherwise, not generically, short of plugging in a well-trained LLM. The problem is that quoting conventions etc differ across mail clients, as do signature blocks. If the signature appears below the quoted footer, it will become quite complex to decide how much to remove, especially since some "modern" (aka nonconformant) clients don't conform to the traditional signature inclusion conventions. On a legal list, removing any disclaimers included in signatures is not likely to make posters happy. Given how obvious and regular the pattern is to the human eye, it's certainly possible to do a very good job with a particular list and its specific footer, but I think you'll need to hire a consultant for that.
