Something is adding a mime part to the front of the message. This could
be a Mailman msg_header (if msg_header is 'empty', make sure it is
really empty and not just 'blank'), or it could be something (like a
disclaimer) added by any MTA/MDA the message passed through on the way
to the recipient.

Personalization is not doing it unless it is triggering something
outside of Mailman which is unlikely.

msg_header it the only Mailman setting which will do this in Mailman.

Make sure that msg_header and msg_footer are empty. See
