I'm on one or two lists that do this, and I think it is a good idea.
From the error messages I get when I send mail to the list, and one of
the list members has a bad account, I assume that the list is
implemented as an alias in a mail aliases file somewhere. If this is
the case, there is no way ( to the best of my knowledge ) to add the
footnote you mention.
On the other hand, if any one is interested and has the time and
knowledge, moving the list to majordomo or some other list server
shouldn't be too too hard, and would allow not only a footnote to be
added, but a -digest version of the list to be cranked out
automagically.
