It's not nearly that generally broken.  As evidence.. this reply.. or any of my replies over the last mumble (5?) years.
 Or any of the replies from the hundreds of other people that use the lists rather than the newsgroups.

The last time anyone researched it, there was a known bug in mailman (the gateway software in use) that triggered with
messages that are crossposted to multiple newsgroups.  I'd welcome anyone to dig deeper into the mailman code and send
bug report and/or fixes.  I'll happily install any updates that come down the pike.
