You would probably also like to change the MIME type to something
suitable for viewing, such as image/jpeg or image/gif, or whatever's
appropriate.
Older versions of Outlook, and Exchange, as well as Lotus Notes, sends
everything as application/octet-stream, even when there is a suitable
MIME type available ("File name extensions was good enough for my
grandfather! No reasons why they shouldn't be good enough today!").
