No, for we've stated a way to do that: turn off filtering -- but you've said you want filtering, but not collapsing of multipart/alternative structures. Rather than go back and forth, why not state exactly the behaviour you do want in regard to MIME types, and we'll see what if anything can be done to meet that.
I am sorry. I thought I was clear as to my intentions from the beginning. I am aware that turning off filtering will allow the multipart/alternative's to pass through without being collapsed. I stated that in my first message. However I would prefer not give up all of Mailman's filtering functionality in order to allow an HTML alternative to pass through the system. I was looking for a solution that provided me the level of control that I wanted over how things were filtered.
I guess what it really comes down to is that I am not satisfied with the fact that in the case of multipart/alternative the code arbitrarily strips content without regard to any particular filter settings. I would prefer that it filter out what I tell it to filter out and leave what I tell it to leave. That is not the current behavior. Unless there is a sound technical reason for taking such decisions away from the person managing a given mailing list, I would like to incorporate that functionality into the deployment that I am working on. Based on the replies I have received, it sounds like this is something that needs to be done at the source code level. If so, that is fine. I just wanted to get some feedback before I started messing with code that I am largely unfamiliar with.
