Claws-mail also has that option, but it applies globally, and there are
some email messages I receive (mostly marketing related) where HTML
gives added value.  Consequently, I would have to keep reconfiguring
Claws to exclude/permit HTML as I change folders.

Since HTML offers no added value in this mailing list, it should
eliminated at source.

Indeed, one mailing list I read has a listserver that deletes HTML
attachments when it receives a message, and if a message is all HTML it
goes down the gurgler straight away.
