Increasingly, a lot of (Windows, specially) mail is being sent out in HTML
too. Is there some way Mailman could strip this please? FN

No worries - basically yes, tell them mime for now.  That and perhaps
request that people not send in HTML ... as far as I know mailman 
doesn't have any mechanism for stripping all the tags, website code
can be too complex nowadays.

Tell them plain text or at worst, mime!  :)
