It appears that **when an attachment is stripped off** (e.g., because it’s not on the approved file type list) **the user is never notified** that the attachment did not go through.

This causes users to think/assume we got their attachment when in fact it never got included in their post.

Stripping attachments should notify the user (similar to a failed post due to address mismatch or other problems) that the attachment was not included because the file type is not allowed. (Or too big, etc.)
