This is related to the MIME type of the message being sent, common when 
messages are sent as HTML.  Check out section 4.39 of the FAQ:

http://wiki.list.org/x/84A9

Cutting and pasting, it sounds like your options are:

  1. Configure Mailman to remove the msg_header/msg_footer
  2. Configure Mailman to strip all HTML and MIME formatting and send 
out all messages as text-only (text/plain)
  3. Get everyone to change the MUA they use to one that is more 
HTML/MIME-aware
  4. Live with the problem

I use #2, personally, although it sometimes causes formatting weirdness.
