If you are referring to Yahoo or Hotmail type signatures at the bottom, then you
are correct.  However, I don't think that Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL or others would
put a duplicate signature/advertisement at the bottom of an email.  That would
look pretty bad.

What my company (global fortune 500) is asking for is a signature/logo appended
once at the bottom of the original outbound email without duplicates.
So far, no
other major commercial email products that we have (Exchange/Proofpoint) can
even do what MailScanner is doing today with the inline graphic.  What
I am getting
today is a single attachment (thanks to your 4.69 update) but the html
is getting
duplicated.  This ends up giving me a duplicate image tag so the first
one displays
properly then the second one is a broken link type of box.

What would be your hourly rate in US dollars and how many hours do you think it
would take to get an option to only send it out on the original email
or detect the html
at the end of the email and somehow prevent a duplicate back to back?
If you want to
take the details of this offline, then email me at davejones70 at
gmail.com.  I want
to discuss you creating a PO to my company anyway for some compensation
even before this feature request.
