Well, yes and no.  The multipart/signed is not defined in the RFC for MIME,
so mhonarc is within its rights to not understand how to process it.  On the
other hand, it is defined in other lesser-known RFCs, so mutt is arguably
within its rights to generate it.

You're both correct :-)

I believe that a newer mhonarc may fix this; I've already sent out inquiries
and may have someting in a day or two.

In the mean time, note that you can ask the list server for text-based
archives.  Write to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx and say:

index freeciv

or:

index freeciv-dev

in the body of your message.

It will then give you a list.  You can then say something like:

get freeciv-dev freeciv-dev.199902

By return e-mail, you'll get the archives for the month you asked for, in
Unix mbox format.  (Hint: save to a file in the mail directory, and your
mail client will treat it as a normal folder!  They're also viewable by any
text editor.)
