I suspect this is gmail. The message mailman sends is a small "Forward
of moderated message" message with the original message attached as a
message/rfc822 part. I think if you use gmail's "show original" feature
to see the raw message, you will see the original message is there in
its entirety. Also, I tested this with gmail and downloading the
attached message to a file gets the original intact.
