Looks like the offending line was this:
Content-Disposition: inline;
         filename*0="Today's Headlines- C.I.A. Is Reviewing Its Security 
Policy
         for R"; filename*1="ecruiting Translators.jpg"

Note that RFC2231 encoding specifies "'" as a special character for 
delimiting charset'lang'content.  The sender's MUA should have encoded 
"'" as "%27".

See: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2231.html

Of course, Mailman and Python email package should be robust for such 
violation.  I need more time to fix this.

Cheers,
