Why should I expect the users of the 30-odd mail clients which treat
this issue correctly to use a clumsy workaround to cope with the
shortcomings of one mail client which, lets face it, has a market
penetration well under 1% (largely because of its relatively high cost
in the face of competition such as Pegasus Mail or Eudora adware).
Not to mention that attachments are banned on the list and
automatically removed by the listserv.
