No, it doesn't.  Only broken mail clients assume that all files with the 
extension ".jpg" are JPEG images.

Correct mail clients use the attachment's MIME type to determine its 
contents.  A MIME attachment whose content-type is "image/jpeg" would be a 
JPEG image.

The correct MIME type for a PDF file is "application/pdf".

Fix whatever broken mail client is generating messages with these 
attachments.
