Just kill all attachments:

This will cause you to never see multipart/alternative messages (e.g.,
the same message in both ASCII text and HTML formats).
Yes, I know, but he said it was for a mailing list, and I think this is
the best for a mailinglist... HTML codes will wast much to much space (in
my opinion!) ...
Exactly my point. Regardless of wether or not everyone has 80
terabyte per second connections to the internet, pointless
duplication of postings in multiple formats wastes bandwidth
PERIOD. The big kicker for me is my download time. Some places
pay by the megabyte or pay by the hour for service. I don't, but
I do have to wait, and I'm finding 10% of my email (in bytes) is
HTML or other attached crap that I *PERSONALLY* don't want. I
know that I *CAN* filter it, and want to.
I've now got some of the recipe's that people were kind enough to
supply me with. I can't wait to try them out now.
Thanks to everyone who helped me out.
