Hi, I am trying to set up a list that sends a footer text with every mail. I followed the instructions in the manuals and FAQs, but still no footer appears on the mails that are send to the list.
The command I used looks as follows:
# # Appending a disclaimer to every outgoing mail: #
:0 fbw | cat - footer.txt
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

The footer is there. Since you are sending your mail with a Content-Type of multipart/alternative, and all the associated bandwidth-wasting HTML data, plain text copy, and multipart boundaries, however, you simply cannot _see_ the footer that SmartList is cheerfully appending.
Solution: force Outlook Express to send plain text email.
