Description
**Describe the bug**
On XMPP side, Matrix sent images are unknown type, which makes Conversations not know how to open this file. In gajim it works as it should (?!).
Isn't there a way to specify mime-type of sent file in xmpp message?
```xml
https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/v1/download/juniorjpdj.pl/IkWOVbXiNPIEPSJVINIKHlDT
https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/v1/download/juniorjpdj.pl/IkWOVbXiNPIEPSJVINIKHlDT
```
Opening with gallery doesn't work.
On Matrix side, XMPP files are considered invalid (?!) while URL opens just as it should.
File sent from XMPP to Matrix on matrix side:
```json

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing the XMPP media-message and Matrix m.image handling using the XML and event payloads in this report, then reproduce both directions. Done means image MIME metadata is preserved and each side recognizes and opens the transferred media.
