I asked our Exchange administrator to get the message headers.  Here is 
that information:

The other 2 lists do not have message headers.  The issue appears to be an
issue with Outlook, in combination with the message header from the list.
The Exchange administrator showed me what it looks like in Outlook and
it was as I suspected: the message header "womens_center" is the message
body and everything else are attachments.  I am going to suggest to the
administrator of this list to remove the message header.  I think this will
resolve this issue.

I have not added any patches to Mailman since it was installed.
