it might be helpful to tell how you did that. I definitely don't see a 
connection between an HTML email and blocking attachments with .htm(l).
As you have just wonderfully demonstrated with your own email there's no 
filename included, thus no chance of matching an extension.

Hi,

Exactly, that's why I am not sure what's happening.

I added .htm and .html to filename.rules.conf

deny   \.htm$          HTML attachments (.htm) no longer allowed due to
phishing attacks               HTML attachment
deny   \.html$         HTML attachments (.html) no longer allowed due to
phishing attacks              HTML attachment
