It seems that this would be something that could be part of a larger
project, essentially involving MIME support. I  wouldn't want all
attachments stripped but would like to be able to strip them based on
type; e.g. images or sound files are stripped from the message before
re-sending it, regular text is kept.

Perhaps if this could be done somewhat modularly, it would lend itself 
to other uses, like PGP support... i.e. images are stripped, text
messages are left alone, pgp encrypted messages (sent as mime
attachments) are decrypted and re-encrypted with the list manager's key.

Just my $0.00002 worth.
