It just happens that the last few messages were sent as HTML
(multipart) emails.  mailman strips the HTML part before sending
through and archiving, but public-inbox rejects such emails
*** We only accept plain-text mail, No HTML ***

The problem with stripping is that it destroys the DKIM signature of
the emails (which is why we need From rewriting). But we might have to
do that for public-inbox too, unless we can convince upstream of
accepting/archiving the HTML multiparts.

Cheers,
