However, I'm still not convinced that it's Mailman which is doing the translation, as opposed to your MTA.
Hmm, to my best knowledge Exim is known to not mangle the body at all.
In which case, Exim could be a potential reason that might cause unknowing recipients to get unceremoniously tossed off the list.
I can't speak for other MTAs, but I know that sendmail can do translation, and will do so by default under certain circumstances (e.g., it has 8-bit input and the output is not indicated as being 8-bit clean). I believe that the same can be said for postfix, and I would have said the same for Exim.
This seems to me to be a more MTA-like thing to do, whereas I would expect Mailman to just take whatever it's given and not perform any translation. Have you found actual code within Mailman to perform this translation?
