Yeah Outlook Express did that when it forwarded messages I forgot
the version - it screwed up spamassassin, I filed a bug, bug finally
got a workaround added.
File a bug with mailman and cyrus dev. teams, maybe they can
work around it. At least get it documented. And call Microsoft
tech support and complain. Microsoft does not charge for tech
support incidents where a bug is reported.
