When I said don't hit the attachment, I meant the base64 encoded
text/file part, but do hit the headers for attachment.  As I suggested
the other day, try attaching just a 10kb file to an email and sending
it to yourself, and viewing the source... lot of text to search
through for filters, which I why *I* think they don't allow you to
filter on it.  If you have access to server side filtering, try
creating a filter in procmail something like this:

:0b:
* sex
Spam

You'll notice that quite a few of the mails with attachments will be
filtered. As sex is probably a commonly filtered word, I think RitLabs
decision not to allow you to hit the attachment might be a wise one.

I agree that is a little annoying, and wish they'd allow it.
