No, that's not the reason it doesn't show up. The reason is that the debian footer is appended as plain text to all messages sent from the List; if the message is multipart MIME, then the appended text follows the well-defined (see RFCs 1341, 2046) MIME structure and is correctly not displayed. It's kind of a side effect of PGP, since that pretty much guarantees that the message will be structured using MIME, but the same effect (the footer not being visible) occurs whenever multipart MIME is used, whether for HTML or for other (abitrary) reasons. This might be considered a bug (#345283) in the debian lists, or perhaps of the SmartList software used, but it (hiding the footer) is not a bug in the various MUAs used to read the mail -- unless they *do* show it. Seems like this might be worth addressing in a(n) FAQ somewhere... -- Ken Irving -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
