Sometimes when browser wont detect the extension of file, the file is downloaded with extension ".bin" at the end. in such case you can rename the file with name shown in attachment area.

in this case shown in above pictures, the extension of file is ".docx", when downloaded file comes as ".bin", you can simply rename it to ".docx".

The above pictures are taken from below thread, for more better understanding of where downloadable files can be present, kindly go through it.
