If you look at the below example, you see that the bottom banner is correctly
added to the bottom of the message.  However, since it is added below the
"closing boundary" line, any MIME capable mail reader will ignore it and not
display it.  To make it displayable, the banner would have to be added in
multiple locations (all relevant MIME parts, but not to GIFs, etc) and this
requires complex intervention in the original message content, something
LISTSERV, by design, does not do.

Hi All-
Welcome aboard to all the newly graduated naturalists.  As a test of
this new List Server, I'm forwarding a Word document I prepared last
year...
