Agreed. This example is a good addition.

Typo "mailware" - other than that this looks fine.

FYI, I changed the wording a little, and put this introductory text in
the example:
This example uses several features of the MIME parts extension
<xref target="RFC5703"/>
to scan for unsafe attachment types.
To make it easily extensible, the unsafe types are kept in an
external list, which would be shared among all users and all scripts,
avoiding the need to change scripts when the list changes.
[Note that this is an illustrative example, and more rigorous
mailware filtering is advisable. It is insufficient to base
email security on checks of filenames alone.]
Without the second paragraph, I think people might misinterpret us,
and we'd surely get pushback from the security folks.
