There are only two content filtering rules in Mailman:
filter_mime_types and pass_mime_types.  They are processed in that
order.  If any part of the message matches the any of the types in the
filter_mime_types, it is discarded.  Next, if any part of the message
does not match the pass_mime_types, it is discarded.  Then empty
multipart sections are removed, then empty messages are discarded.

In a previous email, you said:

The message he sent that got bounced was:

  Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

So it looks like it failed to pass_mime_types, since text/html is not
in the pass_mime_types list.  The message/rfc822 Content-Type header
at the top of ``his message'':

  --===============0953172244==
  Content-Type: message/rfc822
  MIME-Version: 1.0

was not from his message, but was from the Mailman bounce message. 
That Content-Type header declared the type of that part of the
multipart message Mailman sent.

In other words, to allow his original bounced message, you would have
to add ``text/html'' to the pass_mime_types.  You might also want to
enable convert_html_to_plaintext if you do this.
