I use attachments and HTML formatting in many majordomo lists. If you understand MIME, it's pretty
straight forward.
If I am sending out an HTML message, for example, I will send to the list without approval so that
it bounces. The bounce I receive is in MIME encoded text format. I then approve that message,
keeping the appropriate headers, adding the Approved: pwd header and making sure that I keep the
MIME-Version and Content-Type headers. So something like this (without the >'s)
>Approved: passWD

Then it is important to remember to send this message as plain text, so you don't encode your
pre-encoded message...
Now, essentially, you're just approving a text message which will be received by your list members
as a MIME message. This will still screw up digests, because the digest will have a single MIME
encoded message rather than the whole digest being MIME encoded...
Hope that helps.
