Never seen this problem before and then it just started a couple of weeks ago.  Like Bill said,how does email break?

What happens is that if the email sender uses a non-standard string (I think it's supposed to be "----" -- exactly four dashes with no spaces) to separate the message from the quoted reply, or other acts, the mailing list software thinks that the separator is intended to mark the beginning of a mime attachment (e.g., not text portion) and the list software doesn't pass it.  It's a really weird and subtle problem, and I just can't recall the precise details. But using the separator string properly solves it.
