In the bottom_banner section of the .mailtpl file, I put the following text:

>>> BOTTOM_BANNER

=========================================

To remove yourself from this list, simply click this link:
mailto:[log in to unmask]&body=signoff%20afterbell and send the email.

However in the Newsletter, the mailto link ended up (notice the semi-colon

To remove yourself from this list, simply click this link:
mailto:[log in to unmask]&BODY;=signoff%20afterbell and send the
