Hello! Just some thoughts here while reviewing. Since this only matched 1 email, the scope might be a little too tight. There's an opportunity here to use this rule and modify it to account for this file_type/extension I ran a hunt for this proposed logic... not necessarily saying this is 100% the fix but it might be a starting point here. Happy to hear your case if you want this to be a separate rule, but I'm going to remove the review-needed tab for the time being. LMK your thoughts.
