It just occurred to me that the script is not going to work well for 
messages with top posting.

Yes, I have considered something like that as a temporary solution, but 
maybe a lack of it is a better motivation for either improving the 
scripts or finishing my (many) changes of the scripting design.

I was thinking of the footer when I wrote banner.

These scripts should be editable (in the future) within MailMate and 
MailMate should then handle it for you, but until then you can make a 
single-line script calling an external script (see “Canonical to 
HTML.mmCommand”). That also makes it easier to test. Newlines should 
be fine though, but you also need to escape the use of quotation marks 
which is cumbersome.

(Sorry about the late response.)
