In Mailman 2.1.5, if the attachment has a filename with an extension
and if the extension is one of the extensions that maps to the
Content-Type: according to the maps in your particular Python version,
the filename extension is used. Otherwise, the extension is 'guessed'
from the Content-Type. This should result in an extension of '.zip'
for a content type of 'application/x-zip-compressed', but it may not
depending on your Python version.

In Mailman 2.1.6, a new mm_cfg.py setting
SCRUBBER_USE_ATTACHMENT_FILENAME_EXTENSION was added to force using
the filename extension if any.
