Yes it did.  And it appears that this is the reason:

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1;
	protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="H1spWtNR+x+ondvy"
Content-Disposition: inline

Andrew's is like this:
Content-Type: multipart/signed; boundary=Apple-Mail-1-746495031; micalg=sha1;
	protocol="application/pkcs7-signature"
Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v924)

X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.924)
X-Spam-Scanner: SpamAssassin 3.000004 (http://www.spamassassin.org/) on

X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.52 on 172.17.94.85
X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.5

Notice that his was processed through MIMEDefang twice and then Content 
Filtered by Mailman.  Also, his content type is 
protocol="application/pkcs7-signature" whereas yours is 
"application/pgp-signature".

There's also no Content-Disposition: line in Andrew's email headers, so it's 
possible that absence of that line makes a difference as well.

By default, it appears that Mailman does not do content filtering.  It also has 
pass rules (if filtering is enabled) for multipart/mixed, multipart/alternative 
and text/plain.  So, it's possible that MIMEDefang is the culprit instead.
