[Mailman-Users] HTML table code broken via Mailman

Two problems:

1.   You have image(s) sent in the email.  They ideally are better sourced to 
a server. (It also make the email smaller and transmits faster.)
2.   You are adding a footer to a mime message.  That will quite often create 
havoc with the message.  Make the footer part of the standard HTML coding, 
and you should be fine.  See 
http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030707

Also, whatever you are using to create the HTML code is creating errors.

<div align=3D"center"><font face=3D"Verdana" size=3D"1">&lt;&lt;please
forward&gt;&gt;</font>

Get something that makes the code directly, and does not add all the "3D" and 
change your "<" and ">" codes, as a start.

I aways recommend to use full personalization, too, in Mailman.  Without it 
the bounce processing does not work as well.
