[Mailman-Users] Trouble Sending Attachments to MailMan Lists with Eudora 6

Hello,

Last month we started to provide a MailMan (version 2.1.5) list for 
Public Libraries in Wisconsin.  Sending messages with binary attachments 
(like Excel files) to MailMan lists with Eudora 6 seems to be 
problematic.  The problem does not occur in testing with Netscape or 
Mozilla email clients.  Many of our list subscribers stated that the 
attachment had become part of the text message as a large random table 
of text.  Here is a sample of the problem:

--=====================_209060==_
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="filename.xls";
	x-mac-type="584C5334"; x-mac-creator="5843454C"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="filename.xls"

Has anyone experienced this before?  Any help or suggestions would be 
greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
