Yes, I know this is an old thread, but I found something I think may help...

Whilst doing some reasearch for programming, I found the "strip_tags" 
PHP function.  Is a short PHP script something that can be added to 
mailman's processing?  (I'm planning on researching it further, but if 
it'll work, I didn't want the solution to wait on my getting some extra 
free time...)  If so, it may be a "good enough" solution - just run it 
on the digest before sending it.  The sender would still be responsible 
the possible crappily-aligned output, but at least it might be more 
readable.  Details on the function are at the following URL...
