Hi,

By default, mailman tarballs (at least the 2.x ones) contain a Defaults.py file
with this configuration:

DEFAULT_PASS_MIME_TYPES = 
['multipart/mixed','multipart/alternative','text/plain']


So, when someone enables filtering on a mailing list by mime-type, the default 
is
to filter all emails not matching any of those 3 mime-types.

Therefore, this is unfortunately filtering multipart/signed emails.

multipart/signed is defined on RFC 4880 and 3156 and is the recommended way of
signing mails with GPG: See http://wiki.gnupg.org/SignatureHandling
As an example, this email is multipart/signed.


This default causes trouble to people that signs their mails with GPG.
I already had problems due to this default on the Alioth Debian mailing lists
and on the WebKit mailing lists.


Please, change this default by adding multipart/signed to the list of types 
allowed.


Thanks.
