Butting in here where I probably don't belong (I'm speaking here more as a 
mailing list end user than as a list administrator) but as simple as that wish 
is, it ain't gonna happen. I subscribe to a number of mailing lists, some of 
them mailman powered, some of them lyris-powered and some of them 
yahoo-powered. I always subscribe to the digest version and while mailman and 
yahoo do the best job of building digests, no amount of harping, whining, 
cajoling and/or threatening will get end users to modify their email clients to 
use plain text and as far as more exotic settings like multipart/alternative it 
just ain't gonna happen. The best option I've seen is one list that blanket 
rejects any post in HTML. Getting end-users to go to plain text is a losing 
battle.

If your client would post plain text or even multipart/alternative, we
wouldn't have to convert the html.

See <http://www.expita.com/nomime.html#eudora5> (hopefully it also
applies to Eudora 7.)
