Is it safe to simply do something such as this in the archive directory:
find /home/mailman/archives/private -ctime +30 -exec rm -fr {} \;

Currently, the plain text digest saves attachments in the pipermail area
on the hypothis that the archive is available. Or, the digest members
have no means to get the attachments other than to decode MIME manually.
You should wipe the archive periodically if you don't want those to be
kept in the archive area. You may also have to tell the list owners (and
users) your policy and not to use plain text digests but use mime
digests.
You will have to hack the code if you want to do this silently.
