You're missing the point.  You can use an automatic filter to strip MIME
structures from messages inbound to your list.  The effect is the same
as if all your members had sent plain text messages to start with,
instead of multipart/alternative witn attachments etc.  As a result
Mailman only ever sees plain text messages, and thus constructs its
digests etc from plain text messages etc.

AOL is certainly a pain, yes, but they are relatively easy to work
around.
