Hello list,

I wonder if we could improve mailing list footer for freeipa-users.

It can be configured in mailig list administration in section "Non-digest 
options".

Currently the footer looks like:
"_______________________________________________
Freeipa-users mailing list
Freeipa-users at redhat.com
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users"


What about something more useful?

"--
Freeipa-users at redhat.com mailing list
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users
http://www.freeipa.org/page/Documentation | http://www.freeipa.org/page/Demo"

The most important change is replacing
"_______________________________________________"
with
"-- "

"-- " is usually interpreted by e-mail clients as "beginning of signature" and 
automatically stripped from replies.

It would prevent mailing list signatures from cumulating in replies like this:

> [blah blah]
Good idea.
> _______________________________________________
> Freeipa-users mailing list
> Freeipa-users at redhat.com
> https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users
_______________________________________________
Freeipa-users mailing list
Freeipa-users at redhat.com
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users


Other links in proposed signature were picked almost randomly :-)
