Good point indeed, they do. However, just to clarify/reiterate: the
purpose of trashing /alternative is that that is the source of the spam
and thus admin hassle. This is really the domain of the debate, not
whether it is viable or not; HTML bad; MUAs configurable etc.
As it happens, m/* also messes up the digest & archives. (This is
arguably a fault of mailman & pipermail but as that's not likely to be
fixed we're stuck with it. Deployment of siesta may help[1] but will
not stem the spam. Which is what this is about :-)

[1] altho' a "non member post AND multipart/alternative => trash" might
be a nice rule if that doesn't already exist...
