Yes it's a bug. Only not that they are being stripped. But that you sending them to the mailing list in the first place. DO NOT send them - that's all

I propose that PGP signatures should only be kept in messages sent to
the list in HTML, Rich Text or Word .doc file format.

(If there's any problem reading those formats, I suggest using Windows
software running under this handy software I have that provides a
compatibility layer for Unix-like systems. It's really rather
interesting and good.)

You do realize that wine would be the exception in the open source world by
banning the preferred method of signing messages, right? Stripping PGP/MIME
is broken behavior, not using it.

I think you did not get that. Ok for those in the tank I'll repeat: NO ATTACHMENTS OF ANY KIND! If you can not configure your client to not attach useless stuff - then change client.

Better idea: Fix the list to comply with RFC 4880.

No, the forum to mailing list interface strips ALL attachments, PGP
signatures are a waste of bandwidth UNLESS you have a trusted public key.

No. There is another RFC about attachements sent to mailing lists.
Comply with that one. Do not sign messages sent to mailing lists.
Mailman is acting correctly and is stripping off attachments.

RFC 4880 is for person-to-person e-mail authentication, repudiation, and
content encryption.

This is a flame war. Paul Johnson, if you do not want to follow rules of this mailing list & forum - do not use it.

Closing topic.
