And that's OK. If you want to allow the text content from a post with an
attached message, then include message/rfc822. If you want to remove
everything from a message attached to a post (e.g. a message forwarded
"as attachment" to the list), then don't include message/rfc822.

Yes. the presence or absence of message/rfc822 in pass_mime_types
doesn't affect whether or not messages which are delivered to the list
are archived.

Lot's of things. ArchRunner not running, permissions issues in the
archive, other things causing exceptions in ArchRunner.

Check that ArchRunner is running (ps -fAww|grep ArchRunner).

Look in Mailman's error log. If you find errors and shunted messages,
you can archive the shunted messages by running 'bin/unshunt' after
fixing the underlying problem and after removing any unwanted message
entries from qfiles/shunt. Run 'bin/show_qfiles qfiles/shunt/*' to see
what's there/
