Whether MJ can understand MIME or not should be irrelevent to this
problem.  MJ should just be passing the message as-is to the list,
once it's been approved.  I know of a MJ list that is used
specifically to distribute photos of a certain actor.  The files make
it through with no problems.

The thing is, if the message is being bounced for approval, you have
make sure that the appropriate headers that identify the presence of
an attachment are maintained +in the headers,+ not just as inline
boundary markers.

The only time MIME and/or attachments should be a problem with
Majordomo itself (as opposed to listowner's policies) is in digests.
