Probably because he is using a program that uses PGP to sign messages.  
The signed message is part of MIME enclosure with a content-type of 
multipart/signed.  The message itself is then modified by the 
mailing-list software, and I suspect that this change (to put the 
mailing-list signature) confuses some clients.  They think that the 
only part of the message is the signature, since it's not part of the 
multipart/signed enclosure.  So you end up seeing messages that appear 
to have no content except the mailing-list signature and two 
attachments.

None of the clients I use, even on my mac and windows systems, have a 
problem with this.  However, I don't use Outlook or Outlook Express.  I 
suggest trying "Mozilla Thunderbird" for windows.
