That's because the attachment was not typed correctly: it should
probably be text/plain instead of application/octet-stream (a useless,
zero-information default).

I've ranted about this before, but in all fairness, this is not
necessarily the sender's fault: there seem to be brain-dead mail clients
out there (Thunderbird seems to be one), which don't give you the choice
of how to type your attachment - in T'bird's case, it is done in the
interest of user-friendliness (don't get me going on that).  OTOH, if
your mailer *does* give you the option, you have nobody to blame but
yourself :-)

See e.g http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/27001/focus=27200

I thought there was a mention of this in

 http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html

but I cannot find it now.

HTH,
Nick
