You would expect something called "header rewrite" would only rewrite
headers, not body, but mailman is proudly a GNU project.

What ever it is, this isn't the first mailman driven mailing list I'm
having that problem with.  I wonder if there is a simple to use
"convert base64 encoded ASCII emails to just plain damn ASCII emails"
utility I can bolt onto my mail filtering pipeline and be done with it?

Or pull my finger out on my "switch email clients" TODO item, and find
one that can cope?  It's gonna take time to evaluate the contenders.

That was an interesting read.  I've long been of the opinion that
mailing lists, web forums, bug trackers, and even chat room software,
is all basically conversation based.  There could be a base
conversation system that all the above would just be UI front ends to.
Let each user choose which to use.

Especially bug trackers, users have a tendency to just make bug reports
and support requests with whatever they are using at the time, not the
actual official bug tracker.
