I feel that pain.  I want to learn from it.

Please provide more information as just "I have sent my photo"

Share details like
* When the photo was sent  ( in UTC time zone )
* Size of the attachment
* Logging from the transmitting email server


And consider to share the photo in another way.


In other words: Be part of the solution.

Suffix  filename with language code prefered above a prefix.

In other words: adding language information in the filename makes sense.

Yes, it is good a practice to have an filename that tells
above the content of the file.


Yes, english is the prefered language in on our project.

Yes, Debian allows people to speak their own language  :-)

Yes, we are on a  mailinglist.   Subscribers from all over the world.
All over the world means  all timezones.

Qouting 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YubiKey#Security-concerns_YubiKey_4_(closed-source_code)

Yubico has replaced all open-source components in YubiKey 4 with
closed-source code, which can no longer be independently reviewed for
security flaws. Yubico states that internal and external review of
their code is done. Yubikey NEOs are still using open-source code. On
May 16, 2016, Yubico CTO Jakob Ehrensvärd responded to the open-source
community's concerns with a blog post affirming the company's strong
open source support and addressing the reasons and benefits of updates
to the YubiKey 4.

In October 2017, security researchers found a vulnerability (known as
ROCA) in the implementation of RSA keypair generation in a cryptographic
library used by a large number of Infineon security chips. The
vulnerability allows an attacker to reconstruct the private key by using
the public key. All YubiKey 4, YubiKey 4C, and YubiKey 4 nano within
the revisions 4.2.6 to 4.3.4 are affected by this vulnerability. Yubico
publicized a tool to check if a Yubikey is affected and replaced affected
tokens for free.


Qouting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROCA_vulnerability

The ROCA vulnerability is a cryptographic weakness that allows the
private key of a key pair to be recovered from the public key in keys
generated by devices with the vulnerability. "ROCA" is an acronym for
"Return of the Coppersmith Attack". The vulnerability has been given
the identifier CVE-2017-15361.
