I didn't read through all your posts on this, but I just wanted to say
that I've had no trouble with Squirrelmail and Mailman working
together--I've never had text come through as an attachment. Of course,
I have Mailman set to convert all HTML posts to plain text.

Is the problem with HTML mail? If so, I'd suggest converting it to plain
text. I have yet to see general HTML email render correctly across all
the various clients available--especially if you're composing it on a
variety of clients. This isn't a limitation of Squirrelmail or
Mailman--this is an issue of there not being any really standard way of
doing HTML in email. Look at all the issues you have just trying to get
a normal web page to render correctly in all available browsers.

If the issue is with Mime, you haven't mentioned anything about your
MTA--could it be filtering out/modifying some attachments?

In any case, I think it's possible to create a newsletter using HTML, if
you go through some exhaustive testing to make sure it looks decent in
all the target email clients. For general email list, I'd stay away from
it and stick to plain text.

My opinion, anyway...
