Allowed attachments:
multipart/mixed
multipart/alternative
message/rfc822
text/plain
multipart/signed
application/pgp-signature
application/octet-stream
application/x-tar
application/x-tgz
application/x-gzip
application/x-bzip-compressed-tar
application/x-bzip2

Although, reading the blurb, it looks like leaving this blank allows
all attachments through - want to try that out?
