This is at least partially controlled by the ARCHIVE_HTML_SANITIZER
setting. Read the documentation for this setting in Mailman/Defaults.py
and if you want to change it from the default, set it in Mailman/mm_cfg.py.

The real issue is that scrub_nondigest is something of an afterthought
for people who want non-text/plain attachments to list posts removed and
replaced by links.

The scrubber's purpose is to flatten the message to a single text/plain
part for the list's archive and the plain format digest. Thus, if you
want an HTML part rendered as HTML rather than a plain text
representation of the HTML source, you need to set
ARCHIVE_HTML_SANITIZER = 3 which will save the HTML part aside and
replace it by a link, but be sure to read the comment about this setting
in Defaults.py.

You can set ARCHIVE_HTML_SANITIZER = 2 which will leave the HTML inline,
but it will be in a text/plain message and HTML-escaped.
