Does Mailman ever take a message that it received in plain

Yes. (It's actually the underlying Python email library that does it.)
On English language lists, it happens most commonly with messages
whose character set is utf-8.
Is there a way to disable this? What's the reason for base64
encoding UTF8? Is it trying to avoid using the high bit of
each message byte?
