Use "withlist".  There are plenty of examples in the FAQ Wizard and 
the archives.

That's not really feasible.  The problem is that the process of 
creating the digest does all sorts of things to the message which is 
not compatible with HTML.  So, while you technically could change the 
source code in your version of Mailman to remove the Scrubber 
component from the digest process, the result simply wouldn't work.


Moreover, Mailman usually does a *lot* of things to messages as they 
are passing through, and even if you go out of your way to avoid most 
of them, you're still gambling that the input HTML will be formatted 
in such a way that the minimal modifcations won't hopelessly screw it 
up beyond recognition.

That's a pretty big bet.
