What Mailman version are you using?

Do you have problems with messages which are not multipart?

Beginning in Mailman 2.1.6, a single part text/plain message should be 
coerced to Unicode, have headers and footers added as Unicode and then 
coerced back to the character set of the list (or of the incoming 
message if that fails).

Also, have you tried setting Non-digest options -> scrub_nondigest to 
Yes? This may not be satisfactory for you, but if it is, it may help 
with some of your other issues.

Also, if your Mailman version is 2.1.5 or older, upgrading may help.
