[Mailman-Developers] Why Multipart with 7bit messages?

[Michael Heydekamp]

Hi,

I just realized that Mailman 2.1.3 sometimes (and IMO unnecessarily)
creates Multipart messages upon appending the mailing list footer.

After some investigation I found out that it does so only if the mail
body does not contain any 8bit characters.  If it contains 8bit
characters then everything is fine.

Is this a bug or by design and what can I do to avoid it?  Strange: I'm
not seeing this behaviour in this very list...
