It isn't, and in cases where the list supports it and *only* the
text/html part is present (ie, no text/plain alternative part),
Mailman delegates to an external program (usually Lynx) which does a
good job.

I don't know why Yahoo! does it so poorly.  Normally it makes sense to
use the originating MUA's text/plain version if available (faster and
more likely to reflect the author's preference for HTML constructs
that can't be represented in plain text easily).
