Yes, but a lot more work, which kind of goes against the original reason
for the creation of majordomo. :-)


Here's an example for demime. Note that this strips attachments and HTML from
both the list and the -request alias.



# Test alias (run by majordomo) and template for new majordomo-controlled
# mailing lists.

test-owner:             [email protected]
test-approval:          test-owner
test-digest-approval:   test-owner
owner-test-dist:        test-owner
owner-test-digest:      test-owner
owner-test:             test-owner
#
test-request:           "|/usr/local/majordomo/demime - |/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo -l test"
#
test-digest-request:    "|/usr/local/majordomo/demime - |/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo -l test-digest"
#
test-dist:              :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/test,
                        "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper archive -f /home/system/test/test-archive -a -D",
			"|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper digest -r -C -l test-digest test-digest-dist,nobody"
#
test:                   "|/usr/local/majordomo/demime '|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l test -h mail.example.com test-dist,nobody'"
#
test-digest:            test
#
test-digest-dist:       :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/test-digest
