What I have done is look through my message archives (pine and netscape
folders), and find headers that indicate attachments.  These are the filters
I have put in place to avoid attachments on my majordomo server.

$global_taboo_headers = <<'END';
/^content-type:.*html/i
/^content-type:.*rich/i
/^Content-Type:.*application/i
/^Content-Type:.*multipart/i
/^X-MS-Attachment:/i
/^Content-Disposition:\s+attachment/i
/^Content-Transfer-Encoding:\s+base64/i

Keep in mind, that these filters also bounce digitally signed messages
and messages with attached vCards to the list-owner for approval.
