and the PDFs *were* removed ... for a good reason :

Attachments are allowed if they have the correct 'MIME type'
("google" if you don't know what that is).
Your attached files had  content type  'application/octet-stream'
which basically means "unknown binary format"
i.e. the same format that any executable virus / trojan /
... would also come in.

You may need a smarter e-mail client (than Microsoft's) which
uses the correct type, or one where you can specify the MIME
type of an attachment explictly.
