Did you try to change the attachment MIME type to `message/rfc822'?

Since application/octet-stream is not supposed to be used for anything
that can be better identified by another MIME type, and the attachment
is clearly a valid (RFC 822?) message, I would say the sender's e-mail
client is not doing its job properly. Mutt is just doing its best with
what information it has.
