Then the statement

was demonstrable false (at least overly general) as the attachment in
Jach's message wasn't dropped. It was distributed over all the servers I
can easily check (plus some servers others have checked). It might have
been dropped on some specific servers, but certainly not on "the forum"
as a whole.
(I remember that I have seen some messages in the past where an
attachment was obviously missing. Maybe specific content types are
stripped, but not attachments in general)
