Mail content arriving as attachments

We use Mailman 2.1.14 to send mail to a list of about 90 subscribers. There is an exchange server sitting between us and the outside world. The mail is arriving in various formats to different mail-clients e.g. an email with content in the body, including one image, only arrives back to us (Outlook 2003) as an email with a header in the body plus two text attachments (one with a footer and the other with the email body content) plus one html attachment (with image and email body content). Sometimes the email arrives back to us with the email content in the body of the email and not converted to attachments. If there are attachments sent these seem to stay as attachments wherever they go. To a person external to us the content arrives as we would want it i.e. in the body of the email. To another person external to us using a Mac (Safari?) it arrives with the content in the email but includes a header and footer.
We'd like the emails to arrive as they are sent i.e. with the content in the body, and not as attachments. What settings do I need to adjust to achieve this? Thanks.

This is a well known issue involving the addidion of msg_header and/or msg_footer to HTML and MIME multipart messages. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/84A9>.
To accomplish what I think you want, you have to ensure that both msg_header and msg_footer on the admin Non-digest options page are empty.
