I suspect this also happens when you send directly to user's whose MUAs
don't understand Mac attachments. I think Mac Mail is doing this, not
Mailman.

If in Mac Mail you select edit->attachments->Always Send Windows
Friendly Attachments or simple be sure the "Send Windows Friendly
Attachments" check box is checked in the file attach dialog when you
attach the file, I think you won't have this problem. The down side of
this is your Mac recipients won't get the 'resource fork' of the file
which may contain a custom icon or similar information.
