I have sent a post similar to this previously but it has been a while. At home I am using outlook.

jsmith,
Here's your problem. This email is flagged as using the UTF-8 character set (Unicode).
I'll guess your list is not set for US English as its preferred language, is that correct?
If that's the case, Mailman **CANNOT** simply append the footer, which is most likely in the incompatible ISO-8859-1 character set, to this email without possibly corrupting it -- if there were any ISO-8859-1 characters in the footer, like German ü, the entire UTF-8 message could be garbled, or it could even corrupt someone's email terminal and make it unreadable! (I've personally had this happen, and it's not pretty.)
For what it's worth, I didn't see any footer (attachment or otherwise) on the message you posted. Did you have footers turned off completely on that list?
In any case, Mailman does the best it can and attaches the footer as an "inline" attachment flagged as ISO-8859-1, which is supposed to be displayed at the bottom of the message (not as an attachment). Outlook does not support inline text attachments, for whatever reason, although many other mail programs do.
There is a patch available that Tokio Kikuchi wrote that tries to convert everything to UTF-8 when necessary to make a "best attempt" at adding the footer directly, not as an attachment, if possible. This patch may solve your issue.

Also, you can try setting your list for US English as its preferred language. The mailman-users list is set for US English, which is why it can safely add its footers to just about any message. (US English uses the "us-ascii" character set, which is safe to append to UTF-8 or other messages.)
