To say this slightly differently:
you need to be sure that attachments have one of the
supported extensions:
myscript.ijs
mytext.txt
mypic.jpg
mypic.png
Pay attention to lower case and absence of any
extraneous spaces.
Otherwise the non-conforming attachments will be silently
deleted. (Unless you are page owner, which needs to be requested.)
