What you want to send and have Mailman pass is a multipart/alternative message with a text/plain part and a text/html part.
To set Mailman's content filtering to accept and deliver this, you need at least
multipart/alternative text/plain part text/html
in pass_mime_types, and you need to set collapse_alternatives to No and convert_html_to_plaintext to No.
But I also need to find out how to create such messages. I could not find a tutorial on how to do this.
This depends on your MUA. You appear to be using "Microsoft Office Outlook 11". I really have no idea how to configure MS Outlook, but as a guess, there is certainly some setting to compose a message as HTML, and it is likely that if you compose an HTML message, it will be sent as multipart/alternative.
