I used to have this too, but now I never see the list-server pre-data (sender, poster, etc.). It seems IE4 (Outlook Express) cuts away the message header that the list-serv puts at the beginning, and it handles *all* decoding/encoding nice and well. I click on the paperclip and a list of files appears. I've chosen the zip-file and winzip appears. It seems to me, it does consider the message wrap, (the list-server puts another message header around it) the real mail header (as it should), but the old message header is hidden and interpreterd also. I'm not that big a fan of MS, or any other company spending more than half their income in marketing, but some products of them *do* work.
