Perhaps it would be better if there was NO footer at

would solve the display problems you mentioned without screwing PGP
signing. Surely the fact that [WikiEN-l] is in the subject line tells
someone that the email is from the mailing list, without the need for
the footer.
In any case, for me, gmail hides the footer as "quoted text". Perhaps
because of the long line above?
I kind of agree with you, but containing the unsubscription link
probably saves the mods a lot of administrivia. (Incidentally, I'm
still trying to work out why one of my previous messages got filtered
out for containing "potential administrivia")
Obwikipedia: Subcategories really, really don't work. Why have we put
up with them for so long? I was trying to categorise [[Brownstone]].
First I chose [[Category:building materials]]. Then I realised there
was a subcat [[Category:Masonry]]. But why not go the whole hog,
[[Category:Stone]]? Because there you end up in a category with 3
other members, none of which were real building materials. I ended up
using both Masonry and Stone, violating the rule against using a cat
and its subcat together.
