Mailman doesn't scrub all attachments. It scrubs most, but not those
with type text/plain and a specified character set.

What is the MIME Content-Type: header of the attachments that aren't
scrubbed?

Also note that uuencoded data in a text/plain part is not an
attachment, even though some MUAs treat it as one, and it won't be
scrubbed.
