Just curious...I've started seeing this line (by some strange chance

this for everyone? Why? VERY strange.
The mailing list software in use (in this case Mailman [1]) seems
to have some features, which can add stuff to each message. This
can even be customized to the recipient (this is why it is your
e-mail address), as seen on this mailing list. In the text you
have the direct URL to your account login to manage your
subscription to this mailing list. The text "This e-mail is sent
to email@hidden" is helpful, if you are using several e-mail
accounts and have setup forwarding to other accounts. So you can
see with which address you are subscribed to this mailing list.
It is a little bit redundant, as it is also visible in the
customized configuration URL.

But it is a good idea, that this is below any existing signature,
as proper e-mail client does not quote the signature and below
when replying. But it would be even better, if it also would have
the single line '-- ' (two dash and one blank, the same which is
used to start a proper signature) at the beginning of this
addition, so it will also be automatically removed when quoting
on e-mails where people do not add a signature (like I do).
Eventually this is something the mailing list admin can change,
e.g. with replacing the line '
_______________________________________________' with just '-- '.
The same identical footer (expect the mailing list URL) is also
on other mailing lists from Apple, seems to be a global
configuration there. I have it on e-mails from Apple Mailman
mailing lists which are dating back to October 2004. Other
projects which are using Mailman as their mailing list software
also use such footer, but this depends what the list admin or
manager has setup.
