I don't think you need Demime with Mailman. Mailman includes similar
functionality if you configure it right.

Go to the Content filtering section on the administrative pages.

Click "Yes" for "Should Mailman filter the content of list traffic
according to the settings below?"

In the "Remove message attachments that don't have a matching
content type" box, enter the following:

    multipart/mixed
    multipart/alternative
    text/plain

Click "Yes" for "Should Mailman convert text/html parts to plain text?"
