I would like to strip out the ads which this list has added to the

The comment tags are removed by mhonarc, but the content is left
behind.
You want to basically follow what Gunnar stated in his message.
The difference is that it appears you are refering to text/html
questions. If this is the case, you can create a custom
version of mhtxthtml.pl that strips the ads, and register
it with the MIMEFILTERS resource (see MIMEFILTERS in the docs
for more information). Something like the following at the
beginning of the filter should do it:
$data =~ s/<!-- begin ONElist Sponsor.*?end ONElist Sponsor -->//g;
$data =~ s/<!-- begin banner.*?end banner -->//g;
Note, if text/plain message have ads you want to strip, then
you will need to have a custom text/plain filter (you can use
mhtxtplain.pl as a reference) to strip the ads.
