I did check the archives before I sent the first message, and AFAIK my 
message from last week was the only one I could find with this issue. I 
did just go to the archives, but the patches there seems to all be for 
earlier versions, and supposedly 2.1 is supposed to have MIME 
capabilities for html email.

Thanks for the link. I just applied the patch and ran a test from galeon 
with the same results (text only in attachment). I did not, however, 
uninstall mailman, just ran make install right over top of the original. 
Does this make a difference? (I have zero experience with patching.)

Here's the output from applying the patch:
[root at mail mailman]# cd Mailman/Handlers/
[root at mail Handlers]# patch -p1 < /home/kmastin/Decorate.py 
missing header for unified diff at line 3 of patch
(Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

Thanks again.
