If the message was discarded by Mailman, that fact should be logged in
Mailman's vette log.

If it caused some processing exception and was shunted, that fact and a
traceback from the error should be logged in Mailman's error log.

The first step is to check those logs.

Note that given what you've said about the list configuration, I think
the most likely thing is Content filtering is on, text/html is
filtered (not in pass_mime_types) and filter_action is discard so her
text/html post is filtered to empty and discarded.
