Probably not. You're probably being sent the attachment with an
incorrect MIME type describing it as "just some kind of binary file,
that I can't be stuffed to identify it properly."
i.e. application/octet-stream
As done by many broken mail clients and broken operating systems.
Try sending yourself a PDF file, and it'll probably work properly, as
your system will probably identify it correctly when it attaches the
file to the outgoing message.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I
read messages from the public lists.
