As a band-aid, I have reconfigured the bogofilter-announce,
bogofilter-dev and bogofilter lists hosted at bogofilter.org (David,
it's the section "Content Filtering") to only allow these MIME types:
multipart/alternative <- I'm not sure if we need that, but as it's
David's list, I'm not going to experiment
multipart/mixed
multipart/signed
message/rfc822
text/plain
application/pgp-signature
application/x-gzip
application/x-bzip2
application/x-sh
text/x-patch
Any types not on the list will be removed.
This allows _all_ legal mail that has come through the bogofilter and
bogofilter-dev lists as long as my archives go back (several weeks), if
attaching a text file (log or something), make sure that your mailer
lists the content type as text/plain rather than
application/octet-stream.
text/html is not on the list and hence disallowed. Mailman will
automatically convert a multipart that's left with only one part to a
regular single-part mail.
If you think that's too narrow, let me know.
