Not quite the same problem, but similar: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=392731 On FC6 (Evolution 2.8.2.1) all attachments are displayed as attachment.dat, even on a system where the mail server is Centos 4.4 running Dovecot IMAP rather than Exchange as reported in the bug. As stated in the mail thread: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2006-December/msg00138.html downgrading to 2.8.1 resolved the problem. I am surprised that no one else has been seeing this!
