Allow me to be more specific. See the raw message at =

mailing list.
If I am reading RFC 3676 correctly (and I've only read it for the
first time today, so perhaps not), there are problems with the message
you've given at the above URL:
1. The Format=Flowed parameter isn't given in the Content-Type header
as described in section 4. If Format=Flowed isn't present, the mailer
is to assume Format=Fixed. This message appears to be half-compliant
with the RFC. Its unknown to me if its the user's MUA that is the
problem or the mailing list software.
2. Quoted-printable is used against the SHOULD recommendation in 4.2.
