3.10. How do I enforce a text/plain posts only policy?

In Privacy Options -> Spam-specific posting filters 
Hold posts with header value matching a specified regexp. 


    Content-Type: .*octet
    Content-Type: .*oda
    Content-Type: .*audio
    Content-Type: .*image
    Content-Type: .*alternative
    Content-Type: .*digest
    Content-Type: .*mixed
    Content-Type: .*rich
    Content-Type: .*html
    Content-Type: .*video
Sample Rejection Message: 
  Content-Type: (from message header)
  X-Mailer: (from message header)
  Please configure your email client [1] to send text/plain messages to
  this list. Instead of attachments, you should include any diagnostic
  information as in-line text in the main message body.
  [1] http://www.expita.com/nomime.html
  Details:
  Only messages with a Content-type: of "text/plain" and
  "multipart/signed" are automatically posted to the list. All other
  content-types are held for administrative action.
  If you have any questions about this policy, please send them to
  <yourlist-admin at yourdomain>.
An alternate solution is to use a mime stripping script. FAQ 1.8 
explains how to do this.

| Please fix your mail system not to sent such message to mailing lists.

| And, btw, the attachment in question was a pgp signature. This is common
