That's delightful. You realize NON-MIME plaintext messages referring to a certain filename will be purged?

the only thing purged is messages that match the filename and are not text/plain, right?

Not all messages are *MIME*. The Content-Type: header is a mime-ism -- a plain text non-mime message won't contain it. By and large, you can figure webscripts and stuff are most likely to generate that sort of thing.

Take a look at that obnoxious braindead A/V scanner bounce previously mentioned - that comes as plain text, but there's no sign of a Content-Type header in it.
