[Mailman-Users] Managing attachments in the list archive

I am transferring a list to Mailman 2.1.1 in which the members like
to send each other attachments. Attachments seem to be distributed
fine to the members but archive storage looks like it will be spotty.
In testing from a PC with NT4.0 and Outlook2K, .jpg and .doc files
seem to store just fine. .pdf files go through to the subscribers
but are stored on the web with a "-0001.obj" replacing the ".pdf" at
the end of the file name. The file is then not recognized on the
client machine.
When sent by a Macintosh with OSX using either Eudora or Mail.app,
attachments which are listed as "type multipart/appledouble" are
skipped and not stored in the web archives. The attachments are
distributed to the members intact but the archive states "Skipped
content of type multipart/appledouble"
Two questions:
1. How can I control what filetypes are stored and what are skipped?
2. Is there a way to fix the way the .pdf files from the PC are stored?
