The information is all there, just not in the URL. There are config
controls on the name in the URL. From Mailman/Defaults.py

So you can set
SCRUBBER_DONT_USE_ATTACHMENT_FILENAME = False
SCRUBBER_USE_ATTACHMENT_FILENAME_EXTENSION = True
in Mailman/mm_cfg.py, but be sure you understand what those comments
about those settings are saying before you do.
