  In case someone here has found such a script,  I wanted to post about my
interest.

  I've been looking to find a script which can just filter them on inbound
to the list (IE: A wrapper before Majordomo's 'resend').

  I find it strange that I haven't been able to find one as it seems to be
something that should be fairly common.

  What I'm looking for is something that just converts things close to
ISO-Latin1 text/plain (EG: Different character set, maybe also convert
HTML although deleting seems more practical) to inlined text, and converts
attachments to a banner like:

---------------------------------------------------------------
The following attachment was removed from this message:

Content-Type: application/msword;
        name="resume.doc"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
        filename="resume.doc"
---------------------------------------------------------------

  Messages that don't contain any text/plain components could then just be
bounced.
