Thanks!  It seems that this attempt FINALLY produced something, and in
particular that your message also got through.

Background: I'm doing this because Warren is busy with a Real Life.
mailman3 rejects certain MIME types, including
application/pgp-signature and apparently multipart/signed.  Warren had
already allowed application/pgp-signature, and I allowed
multipart/signed, which seems to have done the trick.  We had been
trying to second-guess, not made any easier by some mailman3
peculiarities.  In particular, it should inform the sender when a
message gets rejected, but I have never seen that.  And the log
messages describing the rejection are also too polite to mention the
attachment type to which it objects.
