My users want to have plain text messages - no attachments, no html formatting, no 'visiting cards' and the like. But some of them don't know how to switch off formatting and cards. A few forget and send attachments.

Can Mailman throw away all that stuff and let plain text through?

Mailman doesn't do this, but it can be compibed with tools that do.

If not, is there another way of achieving the same end?

deMIME and MIMEFilter are two tools commonly used for this.
