The first thing you are doing wrong is posting unreadable messages to
this list.

Please, if you want our help, find a way to post a readable plain text
message. You are using an MUA that is composing an HTML message and
then doing a horrible job of "converting" the HTML to plain text for
the text/plain alternative of a multipart/alternative message. This
list's content filtering then removes all but the text/plain part
which has no line breaks and is littered with &nbsp;

We would like to help if we can, but we can't help if we can't read
your message.

Note, I do see the string "postfix-to-mailman.py" in the above.
postfix-to-mailman.py is not supported by the GNU Mailman project and
is generally not suitable in any case unless you have a dedicated
domain for your lists.
