Usually there is a functionality, to remove those footers automatically when replying to a message.

The application which sends the e-mail has to delimit the footer. Within usenet, "--" before the footer usually works. Possibly this would work (on mailman *and* on the web-ui): replace the long _ lines with "--").
And maybe it is an issue of your service provider:

And finally, one way to minimize the disturbance is to reduce the footer to a one-liner. The total of 8 lines are just too much.

lazaridis_com based on your tests what are the conclusions? I don't follow what the outcome was.

I'm mentally "out" of the issues here, but here's the first step to go:
See this here as an example:
http://dojo-toolkit.33424.n3.nabble.com/Dojo-Framework-with-webcam-interface-tc3752741.html
existent footer (with non-standard footer delimiter and too much content)

Change it (I assume within mailman) to something like:
-- http://dojotoolkit.org/documentation http://mail.dojotoolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/dojo-interest
first line is a "-- " dash-dash-space (quasi standard for footer delimiter)

I've never seen this feature in mailman before, seems like a clientside feature. If i'm wrong and someone wants to point me to where that configuration would be applied I'd be happy to do so. Marking to the future until then.
