Details

The mailman release 2.1.21 introduced a bug [0] with PGP/MIME signed messages. The content filter rewrites such mime definitions and ends up making signatures invalid because the content is altered.

As we also run this on our mailman setup, it affects our mailinglists. I'm not sure if severity "high" is ok, but i choose that because if we publish Arch Linux security advisories on the arch-security mailinglist then those advisories will have invalid signatures (which i think is pretty bad).

It would be gorgeous if you can backport the very simple fix [1] and release a new package so we can update our mailman and write advisories with valid signatures.

cheers,
Levente
