[Mailman-Users] mailman is not "scrubbing" attachments in the archives

For some reason our archive web pages try to display attachments inline
instead of displaying a link to download the attachment. If I
understand correctly, this process is called "scrubbing." From what
I've read the default behavior is to scrub attachments in the archives,
but it is not on mine. This is pretty much a fresh, standard mailman
(version 2.1.5-9ubuntu4.1) install on Ubuntu Dapper.

Mailman doesn't scrub all attachments. It scrubs most, but not those
with type text/plain and a specified character set.

What is the MIME Content-Type: header of the attachments that aren't
scrubbed?

Also note that uuencoded data in a text/plain part is not an
attachment, even though some MUAs treat it as one, and it won't be
scrubbed.

"MIME Content-Type:" is.

PDF attachments should be scrubbed. They normally are Content-Type:
application/pdf, but any Content-Type: other than text/plain should
result in their being scrubbed in the archive.

Are other attachment types being scrubbed (or are PDF attachments the
only ones you get on your list)?

Can you provide a URL of an archive message that has this problem?
