There is no configuration facility in Mailman to do this. You would
have to implement a custom handler or equivalent to do this. See the
FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/l4A9> for information on implementing
custom handlers.

A proper implementation would be complex since you would probably want
to implement a new list attribute to specify regexps or the like to
match against the body to hold the message.
