And for the record, your message arrived to me, as quoted below,
including the footers.
I first read his message via Pine on my Linux system...then I
retrieved it with my OS/2 system and mailer.
In neither case do I have anything stripping out the footer, but I
have noted that every message that seems to have been an unsub
request has come through to me sans footer.
Personally, as noted in another message I sent, I believe it to be
the listserv, but I don't have access to those configs, so I couldn't
be sure.
