Well this is required and perfectly fine with any MIME object.  The
reason Mailman does this is to be able to append a footer to the
orginal message with information about the list.  Obviously this would
break the signature unless the orginal posted message is put into an
inner MIME container.

With a proper MIME implementaion this will work without any problems.
