Thanks for the hint, it was '>' being replaced by '&gt'.
The likey python script that needs some
modification seems to be HyperArch.py script in the Mailman/Archiver
directory. But my trail haven't been sucessful so far.
Could you overcome this problem? If so, I would be grateful if
you could provide some further hint.

Seems more difficult that I thought it was. Had similar problems with
Minordomo which I managed to fix it somehow. I thought of using Mailman
because it seemed to be have better features.
