While I agree with your sentiments about the big footer, I have no
control
over whether it is there or not. It is added automatically by the
company
email system for legal reasons. Therefore it cannot be removed even if I
knew a way to do so. The reason I use my company email for this list is
the
simple fact that all mail in my inbox is deleted automatically after 30
days. With the amount of traffic I get from the list that is a big
saving
in time and effort.

So far nobody on this list has actually complained about it.

Actually, people get far more unnecessary banwidth from the inclusion of
whole of the previous email than anybody's big footers. Judicious
snipping
and incuding only relevant text will make a big difference.
