What is in the attachments?  (Do you have a list footer added to  
messages passing through your  Mailman?  Some users will describe the  
footer as an "attachment" to an HTML or multipart/alternative

If you are using Mailman's content filtering, double check your MIME  
type filtering and html/text conversion rules on the Content  
filtering web page for your list.
