Well. At least, I hope his list would not be as broken technically as this is
used to be: before the last downtime it chucked out HTML parts, so signatures
became invalid. When the issue was brought up half a year ago, Ian Kelling
<sysadmin@gnu.org> said he was about to look into it when doing a upgrade [1].
And indeed, something changed: now it does not cut parts off, but performs a
lossy conversion to plain text.
So a message composed with a typical out of a box MUA and passed through this
list now have *two* autogenerated parts: one by sender’s MUA and another by
gnu.org’s Mailman, which confuses subscribers [2]. Signatures are still
broken, of course. My plaudits to anyone who came to that idea. :-D.
(That’s besides everything else: mangling ‘from’ field, etc.)

Sorry, I presumably missed the point; are you saying that messages that do not
pass censors are published somewhere else?
