If I remember correctly, I stumbled onto a workaround for this problem quite
awhile back by experimenting with the mail header options (Default-Options
setting) for the list (FULLhdr/FULL822/IETFhdr, etc.)  Unfortunately, I
can't remember which one worked for me now, but this made me think that, for
whatever reason, the MIME Content-Type header was not being passed along
correctly.  Maybe someone could comment on this and shed some additional
light....

Thanks,

(Of course, the default-options setting applies only to subscribers added
after that setting is in place.  If you change it, you then have to set that
option for each existing list subscriber.  Also, there are important caveats
about using some of these options -- particularly FULL822 and, I believe,
SHORT822.  Please refer to the Listserv Site Manager's Operations Manual for
more information.)
