G'day David,
(You just top-quoted a reply to Dan Tobias. Nice knowing you ...
quoting fixed, by the way)

Reading the context *after* the reply is awkwardly backward.
Perhaps it would be better if there was NO footer at all (rather
than stripping out multiple occurences of the footer post-sending). This
would solve the display problems you mentioned without screwing PGP
signing. Surely the fact that [WikiEN-l] is in the subject line tells
someone that the email is from the mailing list, without the need for
the footer.
Naw. People suddenly jack up and decide to leave mailing lists
(particularly one of such, erm, "variable" quality as this one) all the
time, and often they forget exactly how. A nice little footer is *very*
helpful.
Cheers,
