Lloyd, It doesn't happen with RootsWeb. Attachments are blocked and the email is rejected. If a message is not plain text, the RootsWeb server attempts to strip out the HTML code and then "posts" the plain text. If the message can't be scrubbed it is rejected. A very simple solution.
You have to remember, RootsWeb lists are a convenience for people to communicate. RootsWeb isn't concerned about insulting anyone for rejecting the person's email. On the other hand, the Legacy list serves two purposes - first, it allows users to exchange ideas. Second, it is also used for users (customers) to communicate with support via the list. Unfortunately Millennia doesn't want to offend customers by having email rejected, so the have made a conscious decision to use email software that cannot be configured to block attachments and HTML messages.
