This is not a Mailman issue. Apparently, the message you receive is
quoted-printable encoded. Among other things, quoted-printable
encoding allows long lines to be split by adding an '=' just before
the new-line that splits the long line. I.e., the line

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijkl

could be split in a quoted-printable encoding into

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklm=
nopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijkl

and the user agent that renders the message is supposed to drop the =
and the immediately following newline, thus rejoining the two pieces
into one long line.

Either your MUA (mail client) is not properly understanding the
quoted-printable encoding or some other agent in the delivery path
from Mailman to you has munged the message.
