Sure. Simply dis-allow multipart/alternative messages from entering your lists completely. There are simple filters available at the various FAQ sites to use as a starting point. Force your users to send plain text, and you'll have no problems with text-based digests and the like. (Email doesn't need to be a web page, IMHO.)
Note: AOL 6.0 will _only_ send HTML email. Anyone have any luck getting a straight answer out of those clowns whether or not they plan to fix that moronic behavior?

My latest information - as of about a week ago - is that they intend not to fix it. This is about fourth-hand, as far as I can tell.
I suspect that demime will become increasingly necessary.

Thanks for the info. That's frankly what I asumed; since the 6k lb gorilla can sit anywhere it wants to sit, it is going to do what Microsoft couldn't, and make annoying web pages the defacto "standard" for email.

I'm pointing list members to the mail.aol.com site, and continuing to reject the mail with a polite notation that it's the AOL software that's broken, not the mailing list; that AOL has decided not to give its users any choice in the matter is arrogant. (I don't expect it to make a difference, but I am also suggesting that subscribers explain to the AOL people what an inconvenience it is to be forced to use the website to post messages.)
Sorry...I know this is OT, and I'll shut up about it now.
