His phrasing could be a mite more elegant, but the basic approach
seems sound.  How about instead of:

>> Your email Re: [Mailman-Users] Re: MIME messages , Wed, 6 Jun

Something ala:

  Your message of date DD MM YYYY with Subject "<subject>" has been
  <rejected|discarded> by the <LISTNAME> mailing list for one the
  following reasons:

    -- Contains one or more <MIMEtype> attachments
    -- Matches keyword filters that the list owner has defined.
    -- <list_owner_defined_reason>

  An original copy of your message is attached below.

There should also be a matching set for edits:

  Your message of date DD MM YYYY with Subject "<subject>" has been
  edited by the list server for the <LISTNAME> mailing list for one
  the following reasons:

    -- Automatic removal of one or more <MIMEtype> attachments
    -- Automatic unrolling of unnecessarily quoted/printable text.
    -- Automatic unrolling of unnecessarily base64 encoded text.
    -- Automatic removal of a filtered text block configured by the
    list owner.
    -- Was manually edited by the list owner.
    -- <list_owner_defined_reason>

  Both an original copy of your message is attached below, as well
  as the edited version which was forwarded to the list for
  broadcast..
 
Of course the returned messages should be attached as a
message/rfc822 MIME parts rather than jut being inlined as flat
text.  (Yeesh) I'm also rather keen on inserting a custom header on
messages which have been automatically edited to indicate that they
are not as sent by the original author.
