I hope this hits the right people (looking at some archives it seems to be, despite the list being mainly for MM3). Apologies if you consider it just noise.
I'm here. It probably would have been better to report this at https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+filebug, but I have now done so https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1673307
I have a patch for Mailman 2.1.23 for MIME munging when there are no headers or footers. There is code to prevent this from happening but it wasn't happening for us.
The problem we saw occurred when a meeting request was created in Outlook and a mailing list was added as an invited recipient. Mailman would place MIME sections in a multipart which Outlook didn't recognice as a meeting request.
You can avoid this issue by ensuring that msg_header and msg_footer are truly empty, but since this seems to come up occasionally, I'll fix it. I probably won't patch Decorate.py exactly as you have, but thanks for the hint.
