Can the default message be changed?
I have a list which is configured to aggressively filter out certain
types of message encodings and content, partially using the spam
filtering capability. (We have a LOT of people using very old command-
line software to read e-mail, so we keep anything out which can't be
viewed that way.) Since list subscriptions are open, and we allow
contributions from non-subscribers after moderator approval, there
are a lot of posts from non-technical people who have no clue that
there is even a difference between types of e-mail message, let alone
that it might be desirable to use the simpler kinds. Although we send
out instructions including a link to the excellent page at
http://www.expita.com/nomime.html
to subscribers, not everyone who posts has subscribed, and I fear
that most subscribers don't read the message in the first place. The
upshot of this is that I receive many messages from people who have
received "filter rule match" rejection notices, asking what to do. Is
there any way to provide a custom message in place of "filter rule
match" for spam filter rejections?

There is no config option for this. There is a related RFE <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1109139&group_id=103&atid=350103>, but it isn't yet implemented.
You have two choices.
Modify Mailman/Handlers/SpamDetect.py to change the message, or
Change the action on the filter rule(s) to Hold and have the moderator reject the message and provide a more explanitory reason with the reject.
Depending on your situation, the first method may not even be feasable for you, and it will be global in any case, and the second method is burdensome at best.
