During the moderation delay, this was asked and answered at
<https://answers.launchpad.net/mailman/+question/86976>.

For completeness here, the underlying issue was that the display-name
of the posting address contained a colon (:) and it was not being
quoted by Thunderbird. Then the unquoted special in the display-name
of the To: address was apparently causing a problem in delivery of the
outgoing mail from Mailman.
