Hello! We use Discourse as a sort of support system, where users can email a generic email address which comes into a group inbox. Over the weekend a user has sent in an email with a Word document as an attachment, but it shows on the PM like this - > (Attachment Support questions.docx is missing) I’m assuming this has been stripped out by Discourse (although happy to be corrected on that one!). If it has, is it still saved anywhere? I have full access to both the web UI and the CLI, so any pointers appreciated. If it’s lost, it’s lost. Just saves one headache of asking a user for the file again after tweaking some settings. Thanks in advance --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/viewing-removed-file-attachments/272623)._
