With the latter setting, you do not need the one for the
application/octet-stream.  In general, it is best to stick with
setting arguments at the filter level and do ones at the media-type
level only if absolutely needed.

BTW, the "override" attribute wipes out your text/plain argument
settings since it clears all previos MIMEARGS settings.

Without the original message, it is hard to tell if there is any
problem.  If no filename specification is given in the message, then
usenameext will not help you.
