Right. What specific filtering pattern are you looking for?

The specific case is that should a multipart/alternative contain a text/plain and a text/html, I would like to have a way for both to make it through intact. The general case is that should a multipart alternative contain any two types (or three or four or whatever), I would like the list administrator to have final say on which parts are passed and which stripped.


I just wanted to get some feedback before I started messing with code
that I am largely unfamiliar with.

I take a slightly different approach and stuck Davide Salvetti's
mimefilter in front of Mailman as that (for me) has the added advantages
of not only doing the appropriate MIME manipulations, but sending emails
back to the errant posters telling them what has been done to their
messages (ie in polite suggestion to stop).

Thanks for the suggestion. I will toss this in with the other options we are currently considering. A solution that doesn't involve code modifications might be preferred by some of the people involved with this task.
