I think that's because the ml consider that the sender signature should
be correctly setup. IIRC, the list is running default setting of
mailman.
I guess I could change this, but I will first do some research after
taking my breakfast, because there is maybe a reason to not have the
default "-- " set up.
Alternatively, I think the footer doesn't help much, so maybe it should
be erased.
