Jeff Dairiki wrote a patch for the GNU Mailman listserver that does
precisely this, and also strips attachments.  It chooses text if there is
a text portion of the email and converts html to text if there is not.
I've been using it for nearly a year on a 400+ member mailing list with
good results.  

I know that we use majordomo here, but thought I would let you know that
the particular wheel that you are asking about has already been invented.

Regards,
