James provided access in an off list reply. It turns out that this is
the same Mailman 2.1.5 scrubber issue as discussed in the "Attachments
- archives and encoding problems" thread at
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-May/056923.html>.
According to the resolution in that thread, upgrade to Mailman 2.1.9
solves the problem.
