If you see two different ways to display TWO DIFFERENT attachments, this
might be the result of differing MIME types being communicated.  With
links to PDF files in Web pages, Adobe Reader is launched unless the
MIME type in the HTTP header is application/pdf.  Too often, that is not
the MIME type.

If this is indeed your problem, the cause lies with the sender.

Anyone who thinks government owns a monopoly on inefficient, obstructive
bureaucracy has obviously never worked for a large corporation.
