... You need to educate the people who send you attachments.
application/octet-stream is a generic catch-all type, and we can't claim to
know how to display it, because it could be anything.

The attachment code is something I want to take a sweep through at some
point, but if 2.3 progresses quickly, it won't make it in. We could
theoretically do things like guess mimetypes based on file extentions (in
the case of something being application/octet-stream, for instance), and
there are a lot of improvements I want to make to the sending attachments
screen. But, like I said, it may have to wait.
