Looks like #1485151 to me.

"The problem is that Microsoft appears to have fallen on hard times as they don't seem to be able to attract an engineer that is able to implement RFC2231 attachment naming. Instead mails that use RFC2231 for attachment naming are shown in Outlook with cryptic names (ATT000...)."
We can add an option "Outlook compatible attachment names" and use rfc2047, but it needs changes in PEAR::mimePart.

Fixed in [ffae15e5]. (Added mime_param_folding option)
Sounds similar to my bug #1485319. That is the same file name pattern (ATT0032, ATT0014, etc.) that my issue has too. I thought those names were just the original attachments until I saw this... could be RC renaming the file and the extension.
