Those entries are the MIME content types that content filtering will
accept. Any message part with a content-type other that those three
will be filtered out. For example, in a message with the following
structure
multipart/alternative
text/plain
text/html
The multipart/alternative part will be accepted and it's sub-parts
examined. Of those, only the text/plain part will be accepted and the
text/html part will be removed.
For this message
multipart/mixed
multipart/alternative
text/plain
text/html
application/msword
again, only the text/plain part will be accepted and the text/html and
application/msword parts will be removed.
For this message
multipart/related
multipart/alternative
text/plain
text/html
image/jpeg
nothing will be accepted because the entire multipart/related message
content type is not accepted.
