I'm looking at bug 373083 in light of recent user complaints of formatting, and this seems to be the closest match - everything that's posted to my lists comes out in the distribution as MIME encoded. Most of what happens is weird formatting errors.
I doubt that your issue has anything to do with <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/373083>.
I see that there's a patch for this, but I don't see a clear indication of version - which strikes me as important owing to that the link in Launchpad is from nine years ago. Moreover, I'm a little worried about modifying existing code.
To this end, I'm looking at modifying the configuration, but I'm a bit confused - the bug suggests this:
DECORATE_CHARSETS = [DECORATE_MCSET, DECORATE_LCSET, 'utf-8']
...and I'm not seeing that in there. Do I simply add that line? (Of particular note is that the lists are in English, ergo ISO-8859-1.)
That line is only meaningful if you install the patch at <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/373083/+attachment/585741/+files/dec...>.
The particular bug only has to do with preserving a message's content transfer encoding which I don't think is related to "everything that's posted to my lists comes out in the distribution as MIME encoded. Most of what happens is weird formatting errors." Although I'm not sure what that means.
Is your issue related to <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030707>?
If not, please post an example of a raw message that illustrates the problem.
