.lfs is not supported file extension. We do not process it.
.pdf is listed as supported extension. We process it. So the problem is - LFS functionality of Mimecast replaces the original file with the link - and in case when display_name or full_file_name do not includes .lsf extension - we corrupt this link.
We`ve already tried to replace display_name with full_file_name - and it works for most of the scenarios when any 3rd party add-ins interact with email attachments before ours.
But in case with Mimecast it doesn`t work. It looks like they do not change file_name when adding their link.

Could you show what exactly you can retrieve at the recipient's end (display_name, full_file_name etc)?
