Oh, this one is easy. Mailman lets you block based on the headers. Go to
the admin interface, and select "privacy options". In the "hold posts"
textarea, add the following regexes:

Content-type:.*multipart\/alternative.*
Content-type:.*multipart\/mixed.*
.*text\/html.*
.*text\/enriched.*
.*text\/x-vcard.*
Content-Disposition:.*attachment.*

That ought to grab most of them.

HTH,
