Adding Boilerplate (was Re: [Mimedefang] HTML mails problem)

[Amalarasan]

Hi

    I installed 2.12 version. I inserted the boiler plate message in the
filter
here ("----------\nPlain-Text Disclaimer\n") as you suggested. Now I
didn't get the
boilerplate message at all.

    Is that I am doing anything wrong?.

Thanks
Amal
