Just so you know, the ML is supposed to strip wayward attachments (as
happened to Freddy's), not drop the message on the floor.  I'm not sure
your attachments are the culprit.  

Tell me I'm wrong, but I think stripping gpg signatures on ML messages is
a feature, because no one doubts your message's authenticity, and removing
the sig saves everyone a little storage and bandwidth.  

Still, in deference to you, Steve, I added it back.
