Nope, it's a plain text email with a GPG signature attachment. My MUA
correctly types this as multipart/signed, but the list munges this to
multipart/mixed for some strange reason!

I could understand if the list simply stripped all attachments (slight
overkill but reasonable) but changing the Content-Type without changing the
actual content will almost always break things.
