I do not think as I was as well a user of Outlook, before, and
we (my colleagues or me) never got such funny names for
attachments.

Now that I've upgraded to a better e-mail and newsreader, my
colleagues receive such attachments from me. So, it must be
clearly on my side (not especially Gnus, but maybe my .gnus
file)...
