I, too, have tweaked majordomo to deal with _fronter and _footer in html
messages.  My hack simply places the _fronter and _footer *inside* the
MIME enclosure when it exists.  If there's no MIME enclosure, they go in
the normal places. So there's still a single set of definitions in the
list.config file

I took that approach because I could see that the _fronter and _footer
WERE being written to HTML-formatted mail, but outside the MIME
enclosure of the HTML.

Like Robert, I've not taken the time to document the patch, but will try
to get to that in the near future.
