There are other solutions but this seem the best - until 2.1 ;) Caveats are explained in the patch. I got taken for a ride immediately by applying the patch to the working directory (don't do that). What needs to be done in the *install* directory is make clean, apply the patch, ./configure [your options], make install. After this, at http://your.list.server/mailman/admin/yourlist/general , you'll find an option entitled: "Convert all mail to the list into plain text format?"
Thanks to Nigel Metheringham for pointing out the patch.
