It's perfectly valid for a message which is Content-Type: text/plain to also be Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 even if the charset is plain 7bit ASCII (although that would be kind of pointless). If Mailman dumps the base64 straight into a digest with a different Content-Transfer-Encoding then that's definitely a bug in Mailman. > I've just changed my digest option for the list from plain-text to > MIME - I'll see if that improves matters.
