I'm very keen on plain ascii text too (and no excess quoting).

Alas, the mail list server we're using (mailman) doesn't appear to have
an option to exclude content by MIME-type.  I've dropped the maximum
messages size further (now 30kB) which will exclude the worst of it
(it's already exclude a few messages, including some Sircam ones).

If that doesn't work, I'll just start banning people!  Folks you've been
warned: plain ascii text please.
