any way. Is this correct? Are there any other programs I could use

Stripmime. Search the list archives - there are URL references to it. It
is a very basic perl script which strips out all the MIME attachments,
leaving only the plain text ones.
You could probably hack at a copy of Sanitizer such that when it actually
spots a questionable attachment, then it'd pipe the message to stripmime or
similar (probably after first filing a copy of the original). Perhaps a
pointed request to the author of Sanitizer for such a feature option might
work?
In my experience though, the really large attachments are when someone
sends an AVI, MOV, PDF (not all are large), PPT (or whatever the powerpoint
extension is), or DOC file (and there are probably others, but this is a
quick off the top of my head list) - the other types of files you list are
usually employed in viruses, who's general intent is to come in under your
radar, so HUGE doesn't generally allow them to spread as far. If you're
looking to filter out LARGE attachments only, you're probably going to be
left with viruses and an occasional picture attachment...
