You would need to look at the archives mbox file on the Mailman machine.
On my Ubuntu machine the archives are in

     /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox

That mbox file has the mail messages with all of the RFC 5322 mail
headers.  Viewing the archives via the web interface will not show
all of the mail headers.
