Well.  At least, I hope his list would not be as broken technically as this is 
used to be: before the last downtime it chucked out HTML parts, so signatures 
became invalid.  When the issue was brought up half a year ago, Ian Kelling 
<[email protected]> said he was about to look into it when doing a upgrade [1].  
And indeed, something changed: now it does not cut parts off, but performs a 
lossy conversion to plain text.

So a message composed with a typical out of a box MUA and passed through this 
list now have *two* autogenerated parts: one by sender’s MUA and another by 
gnu.org’s Mailman, which confuses subscribers [2].  Signatures are still 
broken, of course.  My plaudits to anyone who came to that idea. :-D.

(That’s besides everything else: mangling ‘from’ field, etc.)

Sorry, I presumably missed the point; are you saying that messages that do not 
pass censors are published somewhere else?
