[followed by the multipart/alternative message body as an attachment
followed by the msg_footer.]
This is because the mail client you use to read the mail is not very
good at understanding how to render MIME multipart messages.
The underlying issue is your original post has the MIME structure:
multipart/alternative
text/plain
(the plain text alternative of your post)
text/html
(the rich text alternative of your post)
Your list adds msg_header and msg_footer with unsubscribe and other info
resylting in the following MIME structure.
multipart/mixed
text/plain
(the msg_header)
multipart/alternative
text/plain
(the plain text alternative of your post)
text/html
(the rich text alternative of your post)
text/plain
(the msg_footer)
Instead of just displaying all these parts inline, the mail client
you're using decides the msg_header part is the message body and
everything else is an attachment.
The differences you observe may be due to different mail clients or more
likely some lists adding msg_headetr and others not.
