The above is correct as far as 'plain' format digests are concerned,
but 'MIME' format digests aren't scrubbed because each individual
messages MIME structure is maintained in the MIME format digest.

So you could set mime_is_default_digest to MIME, and then use withlist
as in Brad's answer to 1 to set all current subscribers to MIME. The
problem with this is that different MUAs render the MIME digest
differently. Users with non-MIME aware MUA's will not like it at all.
Some other user's MUAs will show each message as an attachment which
some find annoying.

OTOH, you could just suggest that those users who don't like the
scrubbed 'plain' digest try the MIME digest instead and choose for
themselves which is better.
