Public bug reported:

Mahara Version affected:
v1.3, 1.4a

When uploading an archive of .docx and some other file types (eg Adobe
Captivate), Mahara recognises the file type incorrectly. Mahara allows
unzipping of these files and breaks the files into individual components
(eg XML metadata).

When downloading the uploaded file, the browser recognises the file as a
zip file, but the OS recognises the file correctly as a .docx
