Here's what I do - hopefully someone more knowledgeable will advise if I'm
doing it correctly.

On the [Content filtering] page...

"Should Mailman filter the content of list traffic according to the settings
below?" is set to "Yes"

"Remove message attachments that have a matching content type." is set to
'image'

"Remove message attachments that don't have a matching content type." is
empty

"Should Mailman convert text/html parts to plain text?" is set to "Yes"

"Action to take when a message matches the content filtering rules." is set
to "Reject"

This does convert HTML messages coming into the list to plain text.

I'm not sure if it strips all attachments or not.  I wish something more
detailed was written up on this feature.
