Minor email fail

I was affected by the breach and got an email from them (without a lot of detail). I replied back asking for details and was given an undeliverable message

"mr1-0.bo3.e-dialog.com rejected your message to the following email addresses:

Your message couldn't be delivered because the recipient's email system reported the following error: '550 5.8.5 For security reasons we do not accept messages containing images or other attachments. We respectfully suggest you remove any image or attachment (this may be your corporate signature) and resend. Thank you."

Turns out it was the images in their message to me include in the reply string - I deleted that and my message got through to them (but no reply yet). Seems a bit odd to send an email and then reject a reply because it's potentially insecure due to their own message ...
