My first thought is that Exchange stripped the attachment. The problem with this theory is that the attachment type is not banned, i.e. the attachment is a simple PDF not an .exe or a .vbs or anything like that.
Coincidentally, I look down at my smartphone (Driod - Galaxy S5) and sure enough, the e-mail with attachment is looking right at me. Now I am confused.
Additionally, I open OWA and the e-mail with the attachment is there but it looks a little out of the norm.
Take a look:
Outlook - No attachment icon (little paperclip), no attachment in e-mail
OWA - No attachment icon, attachment DOES show in the e-mail when you open it
After through scouring of the Interwebs, I found some suggestions. This was difficult to research because most posts improperly referred to Exchange attachment blocking, virus filtering, etc. I saw a bunch of posts regarding MIME types but the resolution did not apply.
The problem exists w/ Exchange 2007 and 2010. I didn't confirm 2013.
Resolution is:
Exchange 2010:
1.Stop the Exchange Transport service.
2.Locate the EdgeTransport.exe.config file. This file is located in the following path:
<drive> :\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Bin\
3.In the EdgeTransport.exe.config file, add the following entry between the <appSettings> element and the </appSettings> element:
<add key="TreatInlineDispositionAsAttachment" value="true" />
4.Restart the Transport service
Exhcnage 2007
[shell]
set-OrganizationConfig -ShowInlineAttachments:$true
Good luck.
