The list does mime-stripping. I think it's broken. Often it sends mail
which claims to be QP but is just bizarre. I've seen this, for example:

    Message-ID: <20040211185613.12203.qmail@???>
    content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable
    x-plaintext: Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative
    content-type: text/plain


     <...>


    [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]


     <...>


    dnslookup:
      driver =3Dnslookup
      domains =3D +local_domains
      transport =3Demote_smtp
      ignore_target_hosts =3D.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8
      no_more


TBH I think it would be better just to reject text/html and
multipart/alternative destined for the lists at SMTP time.
