[Mailman-Users] Postings appears both as text and as html

[secure42]

Look at the FAQ:

Most of these viruses/attachments come in as MIME encoded, so you can 
always use stripmime[1], or demime[2] to get that stuff off of the 
message prior to submitting it to the list. You can go one step further, 
and look into MIMEDefang[3], which does a pletora of things for you. 
There's also Quarantine[4], which will strip out any type of attachments 
to your message. All of these solutions are external to Mailman (in fact 
MIMEDefang hooks into sendmail - if you're running it), so you can 
always end up with "clean" messages going through your list.

An alternative is a MIME handler patch for mailman itself - see
