I've been wondering about this pipe through ability to process 
extraneous text out of e-mails, so it becomes easier to search on 
terms without getting multiple hits in the quoted text bits.

Gmail seems to have a means of doing this when it hides quoted text.

So is there an application that kmail can pass to (or even a 
standalone program that can work on a mailbox) which will check a 
post's content and using the reference header delete a whole block 
of text if it is quoted in its entirety?

I'd like to try this on my local cache but ultimately it would be 
great to limit bandwidth on a "mailman" list which causes problems 
for people with poor connectivity.

Worse case is if someone replies to a whole digest.
