Use the same rc.local.sxx you are using now to reject certain attachments
to pipe html attachments to a html2text converter. E.g. a free one is
available at

 http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~mbayer/tools/html2text-1.3.1.tar.gz

Of course, you need at first to cut the html attachment from the mail and
replace it then with the text part. There are a lot of free MIME tools
available for such purposes, usable at the command line and in procmail recipes.
If you know about perl you could use MIME modules on www.cpan.org which
can be used to split up MIME mails and put it together in a new way.
