This is arguably not true. Mailman may add a list header and/or list footer to the body of the message as well as potentially filtering or scrubbing various MIME parts. The message sent by Mailman can be significantly different from the one originally received.
The copy that Mailman sends is almost always modified in some way, and given the ambiguities in the standards, I think it's defensible to say that Mailman is the originator of the messages received by list members.
