PDF file extension changed to .dat

Description

When PDF attachments are forwarded by some users, the .pdf file extension is renamed to .dat. The files themselves are not corrupted, just the file-extension is changed (you can rename the extension to the original and it works fine). This has happened with .doc files before, too.

The server RoundCube is running on does not have fileinfo in the PHP build, if that is any consequence.

I should add that I am unable to reproduce this on my own, however I've received forwarded emails where the file-extensions have been altered to .dat. It only seem to happen when other RC users forward emails with attachments already attached -- simply attaching them to a new message doesn't cause this problem. Let me know if other info is needed.

Looks like #1485151 to me. Email headers inspection should tell the truth.

RFC2231 related issue. Roundcube is not changing file extension it must be Outlook's fault. Closing as invalid.
