Hi Team,
We are using mailman 2.1.29. When sending the mail using Mailman, The email body content is sent as an attachment (ATT00001.txt). We face this type of issues only in outlook. Could you please suggest us the solution for the same.
If you already address this issue in any upgraded version then share the version name with us.
Thanks, Kapil Dev Sharma

The best solution is to not use outlook. IIRC some versions don't construct the MIME containers properly, and there isn't much mailman can do about that. You might look at the message as sent by outlook in source form to see how that version encapsulates the body and then again after it's been through mailman.

Are you talking about Outlook on the sending side, or on the receiving side?
Are you talking about Outlook, which is part of the Office package, or are you talking about "Outlook Express", which is a rather outdated and no longer supported application?

What does your list do to this mail. I.e. have you set from_is_list or dmarc_moderation_action to Wrap Message?
Actually, the most likely explanation is the list has set Non-digest options -> msg_header, and the incoming message (after content filtering) is other than a single text/plain part. This will cause the msg_header to be added as a separate MIME part preceding the rest of the message. If that is the reason, you may be able to adjust the list's content filtering using things like pass_mime_types, collapse_alternatives and convert_html_to_plaintext to ensure the filtered message is a single text/plain part.
However, if you want to allow HTML, and or attachments, you will need to ensure that Non-digest options -> msg_header is completely empty, or use a mail client that is better at displaying inline text in line.

My suggestion: The sender ist attaching the original mail he/she ist answering to.
I have been receiving such an attachment a time ago in a private answer to a mailing list post: It contained a message from the list or the digest index - I do not remember. I guess the mail client was not able to handle digests. - Outlook, maybe.
Would be a good idea to examine the content of such an attachment.
Ah. just did find my message about that problem: Yes the problem ist produced by client software not being able to handle Digests.
The sender of the mailing list message changes from digest mode to message mode, the problem will vanish.

In my experience this is not a Mailman issue, per se, but an Exchange issue on the sender’s or recipient's end:

What is the content of the ATT00001.txt attachment? In your OP you said it was the message body. If so, what is it that Outlook displays as the message? And are you certain that msg_header is completely empty? Even just a single blank space or new line will make a difference.
If this is an issue that can be addressed by Mailman list configuration, we need to see the complete MIME structure of the message as sent from the list. It would also be helpful to see what Outlook displays for these messages.
Note that you can't post screen shot images to this list, but you can send them off list to me, and if you don't want to post a complete, raw message to the list, you can send that off list to me as well.
