It seems Achim is right. There's no option to include or exclude plain text
attachments. But there is a size cap for digests:

http://staff.imsa.edu/~ckolar/mailman/mailman-administration-v2.html

~~
How big in Kb should a digest be before it gets sent out? Mailman will
collect list traffic until this threshold is reached, then it will deliver
the digest to users. This setting is useful in preventing digests from
containing so many messages that the reader becomes disoriented.

Should a digest be dispatched daily when the size threshold isn't reached?
When installed, Mailman is set to run a daily maintenance script. If you
check yes for this option Mailman will send a digest at the specified time
even though the size threshold has not been reached. This is a good idea
for low traffic lists that may take some time in reaching the threshold.
Note: By default, the daily dispatch time is noon (server time). If you
want to be sure of the time that your daily dispatch goes out ask the
system administrator of your system.
~~

I would be happy if the first setting were reduced.

Actually, I remember asking about lowering the digest size limit once
before, and (IIRC) you asked the mailman admins if it was possible, and
they claimed it couldn't be done. I guess either they didn't RTFM or maybe
they were looking for a server-level setting, whereas this setting is at
the mailing list level.
