Have you tried postmaster (at vger.kernel.org)?

The above header you showed says "Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8" and I am hoping that this response to you will go out with that labelling back to vger, so we will hopefully see if that bullet is the culprit (I doubt it, though). I have no specific suspect at this point yet, other than "somebody that gets your message from send-email and passes to vger may be mangling it".
