Well, it looks as if there may be a fly in the ointment. I can do the following:
Convert any message in HTML to plain text.
Reject/Discard messages with attachments
I can NOT, however, simply strip attachments. I can only block messages that have attachments. Many email packages add attachments (ie HTML versions of a plain text messages, vcards, etc) without the operator explicitly asking the software to do it. Therefore, I think stripping attachments may end up being problematic. I can restrict size of the message however. We could enforce a real low message size to limit large attachments/message size.
I went ahead and forced the software to reject messages with attachments. Let's see how this turns out. I think we may have to allow attachment after all.
