You should be able to set up a filter that, if <message> contains 
"Content-type: text/html" (without quotation marks), it gets moved to the 
wastebin, applied on arrival of new mails. Note that this will also delete 
multipart HTML messages with a plain text version, and you may or may not 
want to do this. Do this at your own risk, and verify manually that you're 
not losing anything of value.

I can't see a reason why it wouldn't be technically possible to set it up to 
filter only messages where the HTML part is the first or only section of the 
e-mail using regular expressions, but it would probably be quite involved to 
construct and time consuming when receiving your mail. Generally, you only 
want to apply regular expressions to headers, and KMail does not appear to 
consider Content-type strings headers for filtering purposes since they don't 
necessarily appear at the top of the message.

Another solution would be to have another program filter your mail and 
actually strip off the markup before reading in KMail.
