I don't understand your answer.
Let me ask it differently.
What would the mime types look like if I wanted to allow attachments for PDF
and image files?
Would it be any different if I wanted to allow html links to other websites?
Thanks.

Under content filtering there is a field labeled: Remove message
attachments that don't have a matching content type.
In the box I have:
multipart/mixed
multipart/alternative
text/plain
Can someone explain what each of those entries means, and give examples as
to what kind of files would be affected by each filter?
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.
