Modify Python Code - no idea at all

I am trying to modify the Mailman Python code to stop mapping
MIME-types and use the extension of the attachment instead. I am
pretty much clueless as to what I need to do here, but I think I have
narrowed it down to the Scrubber.py file..

If this seems like a quick step me through, I would be very
appreciative, could get you something on your Amazon wish-list (that
is me on my knees begging)..

From just my basic understanding, it looks like it does a mimemapping,
and then uses the 'best' extension for that type. We are sending .pdf
files, but they are being classified as application/octet-stream from
the mail program, and this then gets mapped to a .obj file extension
when it is being archived. This causes problems when going through
the archive.

I am attaching the code below, if anyone could give me some guidance..

Thanks!
Chris
