More accurately the server strips all files of type that are not in the set:  
MIME-TEXT, pdf, png.

Most mail clients will not label files ending in .dat, .csv or .fil as 
mime-text and so many files which would otherwise be helpful  and are ASCII 
files do get discarded. I do not think that the server applies a test to the 
extension but rather that the mail clients are causing the problem by labeling 
them something else.

I am attaching an ascii file with an extension `.dat`. I expect it to be 
stripped.
