IrfanView informs me that this file is a jpeg with a wrong extension
and offers to rename it for me.

Renaming the file to "*.jpg copy" wouldn't solve the problems some
people are having because the extension would still be unrecognizeable
as a standard JPEG/JFIF one (the most common ones  are .jpg and .jpeg
but there are others). It should read "* copy.jpg" if your system only
relies on extensions to distinguish file types.
