To be more specific, if a list specifies a msg_header and/or a
msg_footer (in the list admin Non-digest options), Mailman will decode
the message body of a text/plain message in order to prepend the
msg_header and/or append the msg_footer. Then the message body is
re-encoded by the email library when Mailman sets the new body.

Thus, if msg_header and msg_footer are both empty, the recoding won't
happen, but when it does, it is controlled by the
email.Charset.add_charset() settings for the character set of the body,
and the patch I gave you changes the body encoding from base64 to
quoted-printable.
