Q: PDF changed to Winmail.dat after viewed on iPhone 6+

I have an iPhone 6+ and early this morning viewed a PDF attachment sent to my Gmail account just fine.  I just went back to reference the file again and it was no longer a PDF but was now a winmail.dat file which will not open.  Now my old attachments from the past 2 days are now winmail.dat regardless of their original format. People keep saying it was the Outlook settings that were used when originally sent, but if I previously viewed it on the iPhone correctly why would it now change? Further, if I go online and view the files through Gmail it shows up as the correct file format.  Perplexing (at least to me!).

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.1.3
