Thanks JD,

Most of my emails are probably not signed at the moment, so that won't
be the problem. I'll tell you more about it on Thursday.

Regarding MIME types, the message I sent had headers that look OK to
me...

> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

... but also had ...

> X-Evolution-Format: text/plain

... which I imagine might cause trouble for the android MUA, but mailman
shouldn't be bothered by it. I see Protag was having problems too, so
maybe it's not at my end?

Having said that, switching from Thunderbird to Evolution had been a
catalogue of disasters for me. I want to revert to Tbird2, however
that's built on libc5, whereas I'm running libc6 so might have to bite
the bullet and get Tbird3 :(
