That's just a filename. MIME attachments also have a "Content-Type"
header which is supposed to tell the MUA exactly what type of document
is contained, and thus the mailer should know what to do with it.
If the content-type is "text/plain", but the filename matches "*.gif",
for instance, then the mailer that *sent* the message is clearly broken.
It's not Mutt's fault that it tries to display an image as a text
attachment, because that's what it was told by the sender to do!
You should complain to the person who sent you the mail, and tell them
to fix their mailer so that it sends things out correctly. That will
help everyone.
