I disagree about "very good reasons for footers on many lists". Meta

Stick to the envelope, Mr. Postman.;-)
The problem with sticking all the list meta-information in the headers
is that most users have no idea how to access email headers or parse
them for the salient information. While I believe it is valuable to
allow the originally signed content to pass through without corrupting
the signature, the context of the message being sent to a mailing list
argues for allowing some consistent list context information to be
included where users can see it.
