.doc is .pdf when attached to an email

I have never seen this before and hope someone has an answer. One of my users tried to attach a Word document to an email this morning. It attached ok but displayed as a .pdf document (icon). The attachment opens in Word with no problem.

When I viewed the file icon via its location on the network, it showed as a Word icon. But viewing it via the ‘Insert file’ button in Outlook shows it as a .pdf icon.
What’s going on here? Any ideas?
