Please, please, please, please include a list posting filter configuration
option to have Mailman (politely)  reject mail posted in HTML.  Bounce the
message with a note to post only in plain text, possibly with a blurb on
how to do it with common mailers/browsers. 

You will gain the undying gratitude of countless frustrated mail list
managers, admins, and readers alike; and you will be saving equally
countless number of excess posts by irate readers pleading
with/admonishing clueless users and the threads thus generated.

This could likely be the single most useful feature Mailman could have:
o  Save bandwidth.
o  Save nerves.
o  Save storage space.
o  Keep out nasty scripts.
o  Promote member harmony.

If by some miracle this is already there someplace, you may slap me silly
and point me to where it is.  Running 2.0beta6 currently.
