Further info...

I have the list set to discard attachments not matching the following
types:

multipart/mixed
multipart/alternative
text/plain

The message itself has its content-type set to "multipart/related". I
wouldn't think that the message itself would count as an attachment, but
I added that - hopefully that will help (for sure, disabling all content
filtering fixed the problem).

Mailman is v2.1.5 on RHEL, if it matters.
