Stephen J. Turnbull writes: It turns out that Mailman preserves such messages. There were several from you. I discovered that the problem is that you have Gnus set up to send "multipart/related" messages when you have attachments. Since the standards say to treat unknown multipart/* Content-Types as multipart/mixed, I guess there's no harm in letting all multipart types through. I forget how to kick Mailman into passing a message after it's been fixed (or Mailman's configuration is adjusted), and I'm really tired -- I'll do it tomorrow. Sorry for the delay. However, even though xemacs-beta should accept these messages in the future, you should fix your Gnus. The correct MIME type for the messages you are sending is "multipart/mixed". "multipart/related" is a generic method for sending multipart messages where the parts only have (full) meaning in combination, and should be processed together. This includes things like signed messages (you can't process the signature without both the signature and the content) and old Macintosh files containing both a content fork and a resource fork. It does not include things like program source or image attachments. Besides getting filtered (having only the multipart/mixed, multipart/alternative, and multipart/digest types allowed is the standard setting for Mailman), you could also find yourself in a situation where some part of your message is not readable by a correspondent's mail program, and that program refuses to read any of it.
