A general word on attachment policy. Why would anyone want to ban attachments?
Attachments are dangerous because they are a favorite tool of criminal hackers for infecting computer systems.
In addition to criminals deliberately trying to infect us, we have the innocent, unsuspecting (and ignorant) subscribers who become infected via that cute "fill in the blank" forwarded by "Aunt Sally"... who runs every attachment and clicks every link that anyone sends her.
As with some other things in life, it's not just what's in front of us... it's ALL the things received and possibly clicked on by the person who sent the ONE thing that's in front of us.
