No. This is a client-side problem.
Mailman does not currently support this. In theory you could have a
per-user option to strip HTML in Mailman, but this seems rather
impractical. There are too many weird things that can happen in
multipart mails. Also, some people may wish to choose at the time
they read the mail, rather than in their subscription settings.
The only reliable way to handle this is to send both text and HTML as
a multipart/alternative. That assumes that your members have mail
programs that handle MIME properly, but most common clients do
nowadays.

Make sure that Thunderbird follows the recommendation in RFC 2046, i.e.,
the text/plain version followed by the text/html version. (I believe
it does, but it may be configurable.)
There are FAQs on mail clients that explain how to configure them to
handle MIME correctly; you might want to post URLs to them for your
members.
