It's Orn's X-Face header that is breaking things.  I can read the emails
fine in mutt, but I checked in Outlook, and it doesn't handle them
properly:

X-Face: 
	E_zcq`4tZ?pgKcXl2Vy?E.DsIl,aDED%mZEkq[i"_{2x`!#2uiyC(,`^P1u?ni#lDs+k4W.uCn!,W3ZKV0Tpu~p?jOKxKPUJnTZO%$^CW_2zcS\Nx2JJ0QlHJt,C#G+$YYcVcxf`%&@UT[q*4o5~Z>{WG]uJ--;VAJ31/$f`C}4D}F%cL~D<mh/>S6MiL at gNa:wG_Z`T at b])f~LA_0nj6eB&O.Z$~VM|~jX1073)G6i3r$Z=IZy~=I|%_1<t;nsUbmr3%N60Xq]0{enl21/K_\N$+h:LTO}NI{iDD%Q!iKAd
	

It's probably that last line with a single tab that is throwing ignorant
mail clients off.  I'd suggest that you talk to the mail client's
author about fixing the client or ask Orn to kindly shut off the X-Face
header for this mailing list.

Also, it's better to filter on "Return-Path:
<mythtv-users-bounces at snowman.net>" or some such instead of subject
filtering.  I'd suggest using the List-Id header, but that comes after
the X-Face header, so it would also not work.
