Did you (or the admin) set a reg key for Level1Remove for the document file
type? You do not want to add file types that are not normally blocked to
the registry.

Honestly, i don't understanding reg keys and wouldn't know how to do that
anyhow.
99% of my received attachments are normal MS Word docs.

With the recent spate of infected Word documents targeting corporations, I
would not tinker with that setting.
