(Hi Greg :)

BTW, Mailman 2.1 will be smarter here.  It'll only add headers and
footers to text/plain or multipart/mixed message.  The the former case
it'll just tack on some more plain text.  In the latter case, it'll
add a couple of extra subparts.

Currently, if the message is of any other MIME type, no header or
footer will be added.  We /could/ conceivably wrap things in more
multiparts, but that just seems really ugly.
