Bug Description

Binary package hint: mailman

Ubuntu 8.04.2
Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.9-9ubuntu1

If any mail with an attachment send to a mailman list, a second
"MIME-version" header is added.

> MIME-version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v930.3)
> MIME-version: 1.0
> X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.930.3)

Some mail servers are rejecting such mails with:
   SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data:
   host remote.mail.host [111.222.33.44]:
   554 5.6.0 Reject, id=12210-03 - BAD_HEADER: Duplicate header field:
   "MIME-Version"

Regards.

IMO we should fix this for hardy and intrepid as well; a list administrator doesn't get any notice of this behaviour
