Like Greg pointed out, for MIME you need to set two message headers: MIME-Version: and Content-type:.
I just checked the MailMan programmer's manual and didn't see any API that would let one add headers to an outgoing message. From a security standpoint I can understand why -- to prevent forged headers. I guess the first thing I'd do is check if your favorite email client will decode a MIME encoded document if those headers are missing (you never know). If not, you'll probably have to implement UUEncoded. Recipients can be specified at send time by a string containing the users email address, so no, they don't have to be in any file. And my test just now confirmed that MailMan can deliver email to non-VA addresses with no DOMAIN file entry.
