Really, the list should just reject _ALL_ multipart or non text/plain 
messages.  I do this on other (large) lists I manage, and it's very 
effective at keeping cruft off of lists - stuff some people intentionally 
post (pics, HTML mail, vcards, etc), and stuff that wasn't intentionally sent.

If there's ever a real need to send a file, people have places to post them 
on http or ftp, and just post the URL.

Tom - when you have some time, feel free to contact me offlist for specific 
insights.  It's the least I can do to repay you for rtbt.
