icedove: pdf-attachment as Content-Type: app_lication/x-ms_down_load

Hallo debian expertise!

I just got an email automatically returned from an 'connntent checccker'
(deliberate misspelling to get the mail through debian's tough spam
filters):

banned name: application/x-msdownload

In fact I just sent a pdf attachement with icedove/etch. Looking closer
at it, the plain text source of my e-mail contains mime parts:

(All underscores are by me. Humans: please ignore)

/=====================================
Con_tent-Type: appl_ic_ation/x-msdown_load;
name="nnn.pdf"
Con_tent-Trans_fer-Enc_oding: base64
Con_tent-Dis_posi_tion: inline;
file_name="nnn.pdf"
\=====================================

where it should probably read something like:
/=====================================
Con_tent-Type: app_lication/pdf
Con_tent-Dis_posi_tion: atta_chment; filename="nnn.pdf"
Con_tent-Trans_fer-En_coding: base64
\=====================================
(copied from a similar mail from mutt).

How should I configure icedove in order to revert to the
'app_lication/pdf' state it had some months ago (before a security update?)?

It was all fine and application/pdf on Wed Feb 20 16:02:07 2008;
it appears to be all bad application/x-msdownload since Wed Mar 26
15:26:23 2008 (or earlier).

Thanks,

Johannes
