I think code will normally work unless thee are some odd
characters in strings etc.

But we have had a couple of cases of py files getting lost.
(As in, I could see them in the moderation queue but
they were not in the final posted message)

But my main concern would be data files where anything
that looks like binary will almost certainly go awol.

I know of at least 3 large corporations that do that.
Security is paramount for these guys.

It will not apply internally but their firewalls just totally
strip any incoming attachments regardless of source or type.
At least one will even block mails that look like they contain
code in the body text- so even pasting code wouldn't work there.
