That is precisely what I was looking for, thank you very much.

The root cause of the problem was - People are starting to use docx and
xlsx files by default now, and these mime types aren't recognized (at
least in the version of mailman that I have.)  So they get renamed
"attachment.bin" and that's a problem for non-technical users.
