Attachments in digests mails
Hi,
subscribers that prefer to receive digests, are receiving attachments as encoded characters in the message body.
This makes digests almost unreadable, see an extract of an example below.
Is there a way to make sure the attachments are send as attachments in the digest mails?

Dear all,
please find attached negative reports of 4 recent observations, including (= 2589) Daniel. I could not afford to skip such important asteroid to me (-; = despite very low probability of positive result.
Best regards,

This is <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/473> fixed in Mailman 3.3.3 by <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/merge_requests/734>.

If you want the attachments sent as attachments, subscribe to the MIME format digest which doesn't have this issue. For the plain text digest, the fix above just removes the non text/plain parts and replaces them with a note that they have been removed.
