There is no technical difference between an "attached file" and the "message
body" - it's just a question of disposition whether an attachment is marked
as inline or not. The sanitizer, being a security tool, doesn't give
attachments marked as "inline" any special treatment. :)

What are you trying to do here? You specify a regular expression
matching all files which don't have a dot in their name, but you don't
tell the program what to do with those files. You need a line saying
"file_list_1_policy = <something>"

If you want text attachments to be left in the message, you need to add
another ruleset saying so:

    file_list_rules = 2
        
    file_list_2 = \.txt$
        file_list_2_policy = accept

Since you are cleaning the HTML, I assume you want to allow HTML
content to pass through as well, in which case you should do as
follows, to accept .txt, .htm and .html files:

    file_list_2 = \.(txt|html?)$
        file_list_2_policy = accept

Otherwise the text/HML parts will simply get saved by your default
policy:

> file_default_policy = save
