I'm a new Mailman user, and a pretty non-expert Linux operator, so
Mailman is great - not half the problems I had trying to persuade
Majordomo to work (I'm sure it's a fine product in the right hands).

So here's my problem:

My users want to have plain text messages - no attachments, no html
formatting, no 'visiting cards' and the like. But some of them don't
know how to switch off formatting and cards. A few forget and send
attachments.

Can Mailman throw away all that stuff and let plain text through?

If not, is there another way of achieving the same end?

This sounds like good advice, but it's not very meaningful to me,
unfortunately. I assume MTA is sendmail...?

Thanks for any help you can offer
