OK just throwing out ideas here, but why not have the list server deal
with HTML attachments?  Some piece of code figured out that there is a
scrubbable HTML attachment (Mailman or Pipermail) so I would think the
Right Thing might be one of the following:

1. List server should silently remove HTML attachments with no trace

2. List server should reject mail with HTML attachments (idiot filter)

3. List server should auto-send "nag-mail" to the offender saying
essentially what Michael said above
