See the archives. This is actually a more difficult problem than you imagine, for a variety of technical reasons. The short answer is that if you go into "Content Filtering", and click on the button "Should Mailman filter the content of list traffic according to the settings below?" and set it to "Yes" and you don't change anything else, then mailman should go ahead and strip most things you're likely to see (by default, it will only pass messages that are plain text, or MIME bodypart types multipart/mixed, multipart/alternative, or text/plain), and it will strip text/html to plain text.
