The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Keith A. Marrocco" <address@concealed>]

Is it possible that a message lacking a MIME header and that is sent to 
a Sympa list with a footer could be transmogrified into a MIME Base64 
message that some list subscribers would be unable to read (because 
their clients don't know what to do with it without the MIME header)?

The message headers are below; the list is attaching a message footer 
file to every message.  The original messages are not MIME-encoded and 
lack the MIME version header (MIME-Version: 1.0) and Sympa does not 
appear to be inserting one.

Here is it what one student got.

As I said before, this is not massive, but apparently it happened to some.

Thanks for the help. Please let me know if you find something out.
