Ben,

The encoding is not the problem, it's that when a message with an attachment
is distributed by Listserv, the attachment for some reason gets embedded,
inserted, whatever, into the body of the message, rather than passing
through as an attached file.

No.  LSMTP does no encoding/decoding or modification of MIME headers, etc.
in any messages.

Exactly what is the problem you are asking about?  Based on your message:

"...but if you try to send an attachment it embeddeds it as garbage
(encoded?) text."

you seem to think the problem is that the binary attachement is encoded.
This is not a problem.  All binary attachments are always encoded.  This is
normal.
