This isn't the mailing lists job; it is your clients job. If you don't want to see HTML email then use a client that can't / won't interpret it.
It is the sender's job. No-one should be sending such stuff to a public list since it serves no useful purpose. If your client won't send clean ASCII-only email, then switch to a client that will. If senders do not do that, there are four options: flame them to a crisp (off-list, please!), let every reader handle it, remove the HTML at the server, or set the server to drop such messages entirely. I'd prefer the last, with an appropriate bounce message,
