The 'attachment' is the list's msg_footer. See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.039.htp>
for more on why it's an attachment.

I'm not clear on how much of the above is actually in the footer, and
how much is 'helpfully' added by your MUA, but you have complete
control over the original contents of the footer on the list's
Non-digest options page. Note that if this is the default footer, the
actual footer is just

_______________________________________________
Test mailing list
Test at my.domain.com
http://my-hostname.domain.com/mailman/listinfo/test

and the <mailto:Test at my.domain.com> and
<http://my-hostname.domain.com/mailman/listinfo/test> are added by
your MUA when you view the message.

Also note that the footer is attached as a text/plain message part, so
any rendering of email addresses and URLs as 'clickable' links is also
done by your MUA.

View the raw message source to see what Mailman is actually sending.
