 I had the person send me an email and viewed the mime headers.  It
 showed:

 Mime-Version: 1.0
 Content-Type: text/html

That's part of the external MIME header for the message itself. What about the content-transfer-encoding, content-type, and charset?


 I added this entry in the "Remove message attachments that don't have a
 matching content type."  The message did not bounce, but the body of the
 message was stripped and all that came through was the list footer.

That could be because lynx doesn't understand the Hotmail RTF format, and effectively ended up stripping the message body.


 Initially when I setup the list I had the "Should Mailman convert
 text/html parts to plain text? option checked as NO.  I believe this was
 the default when I created the list via my hosting provider.  This was
 causing the list footer to come across as an attachment (Something like
 "ATT000001.TXT) eveytime a message was posted, so I activatd this to
 YES.

 I'd like to think folks who are using Hotmail's Rich Text editor will be
 able to participate on my list.  Any help would be great as I have
 included my config below regarding my Filtering options.  These Hotmail
 people are the only problems.  HTML or RTF emails sent to the list using
 Netscape or Outlook are properly converted to plain text and distributed
 to the list without any issues.

This is clearly a Hotmail specific issue. It may be a problem between Hotmail and lynx, in which case we may not be able to do anything to help you.


But more evidence is required. Try forwarding the complete set of headers of their test message they sent to you, with all headers intact.
