Here are my thoughts.
At a bare minimum, Mailman should be able to strip a message to the plain-text part. DeMime does more than that (for instance, stripping the auto-added ad footers off of hotmail and yahoomail and etc), but we can argue if that is really mime related, or some other message-prep/evaluation subsystem. either way, it'd be nice to have, but we could live without it.
Beyond that, though, I'd like a system that can control mime parts on a part-by-part basis. Either by saying "allow all except these mime-parts", or by saying "strip all but these mime parts". Any stripped part ought to be replaced with a text part that documents the modification by mailman.
Conceptually, not tough, but since you might need to start ripping apart nested mime-parts...
