With German Outlook 2013/ 2016 it is only shown as "Unbenannte Anlage <some 
number>".

But weirdly enough it does not appear to make any difference if I enable 
Outlook compatible attachment names or not:

Tested:
E35 -> Outlook compatible names / no compatible names, UTF-8 -> broken
KDE 4.14 -> Compatible names / no compatible names, UTF-8 -> broken
KDE 4.14 -> Compatible names, latin-1 -> broken

These tests were all with outlook 2013/2016 So It's probably broken differently 
now? :-)

Attached you can find a message sent by Outlook 2016 using your test file.

Regards,
Andre

P.S. If necessrary I can test with 2003, 2007 and 2010, too but this is a bit 
more effort because I only have remote access to those.
