Actually, the answer is a resounding "YES". Go get demime.pl,
and install it in a pipe feeding your lists. Done!
Demime home page: http://scifi.squawk.com/demime.html
Demime perl script: http://scifi.squawk.com/demime.stable
Demime config file: http://scifi.squawk.com/demime_junkmail.cf
Demime email list: demime-l@scifi.squawk.com
I use it on dozens of lists, no one has EVER complained about
mangled posts. Melissa and other virus attacks were disabled
automatically, Word and Vcard attachments are deleted (with a
note left in the post to say so). Freebie ISP ads (Juno, Hotmail)
are optionally deleted. What more can I say?
