In another thread "we" (someone else mentioned it but I believe it's 
correct) decided that it's the interaction between MIME parts and 
signatures.  The "list signature" aka "mail list footer" is appended as 
another MIME part, and apparently attached as-is, while everything below 
the sig delimiter in the main text is deleted as signature.

But the additional MIME parts shouldn't be appended on the reply, and 
they are.  I think that's the bug.
