This is not a good idea since outbound mail may contain a valid attachment
like a word or spreadsheet file. Your idea would strip all MIME content
and leave only Text.

I don't think an MTA should do that to outbound email.

I am pretty sure, though I am not an Exchange administrator, that you can
modify Exchange so that any outbound mail is in text (still with
attachments if necessary). We do that at work without any problems, but I
don't know how they do it.

As of inbound.... We currently use demime to accomplish this for some
disability users and other special accounts...

#forward mail to another specific account
user-demime: "|/path/demime - | /path/mailtostuff forward \
    remoteuser\@domain.tld"


#dump into a specific account
user-demime: "|/path/demime - | > /pathtomailbox/useraccount

We also use the same type of thing for Majordomo mailing lists as we dont
allow any attachments to them.

I've always wanted to make a delivery rule for this in Exim, but never had
the time to actually figure it out.

Demime can be found http://scifi.squawk.com/demime.html

No comment on adding a company wide disclaimer.. :-)
