If it sees "mime" anywhere in the message it gets diverted off - this
is because most of the time you end up with the ascii text followed
by the mime encoded version. What you see kind of depends on your mail
reader, but listserv generally will choke on MIME stuff (because of the
strange character sequences) and if by some chance it does let it thru
the message may be so munged up that even a MIME compliant reader can't
handle it.
