Absolutely.... And simplicity itself.
(Mailman 2.2.1)

Go to "Content Filtering"

1.
Set the option:
Should Mailman filter the content of list traffic according to the 
settings below?
To YES

2.
In the next section:
Remove message attachments that don't have a matching content type. 
Leave this field blank to skip this filter test.
Add the following lines:
multipart/mixed
multipart/alternative
text/plain

3.
and the section:
Should Mailman convert text/html parts to plain text? This conversion 
happens after MIME attachments have been stripped.
Set to YES

(That last one is dependent upon #1 being set to YES.)

That's it. No more HTML posts.... they all get converted to plain text, 
and as a bonus, so do the archives.

Regards
Rod
