Agreed.

The message body is that of a MIME multipart message, but the main content type is text/plain instead of

multipart/mixed; boundary="66728b7fa14ce3ed"

RFC 3464 wants a Content-Type of message/delivery-status.

so the whole body is just one plain text part and is quoted-printable encoded so that just changing the above Content-Type: won't work because there is quoted-printable encoded content in the sub-parts including sub-part headers.

I have seen the other replies in this thread, so I'm not adding much here.

Trying to recognize this in Mailman would be a major kludge and not worth the effort.

I would argue against hacking Mailman to recognize this as a failed attempt at an RFC 3464 Delivery Status Notification.

RFC 3464 has been out for 17 years. I think it's past time that we stop coddling people that can't conform to it.
