Which is about the time I noticed Albrecht's messges changed from signed to
an attachment. Before that, I'd just see his message and the pgp sig. Now,
it's merely a blank message (except for the YDL list trailer) and an
attachment.

My MUA, Outlook, sees it, basically, as you pointed out, Albrecht, in your
previous post: multipart/signed etc. I wonder if there's a way to get
mailman to handle the signed messages better. Specifically, instead of
adding a multipart attachment if the original is text/plain, just stick the
list trailer at the end of that part and keep the message.

As long as it went outside the signed section, that would work.

Is anyone else besides me experiencing this? I don't want to take up
bandwidth on something that's only related to running YDL by the fact that
it's about the YDL mailing list.
