When you download a file, the "Downloading file" dialog that prompts you to
select how you want the file opened will give the following options:

   What should Mozilla do with this file?
     ( ) Open using <no application specified>
     (o) Save file to Disk

The first option is rather ugly. We should replace that string with "an
application", so that the sentence always makes sense and doesn't sound so geeky:

   What should Mozilla do with this file?
     ( ) Open using an application
     (o) Save file to Disk

"Normally" the first option has the name of the application (e.g., "Open using 
Microsoft Word").  I don't think we want to lose that.  But we should make it 
look better when no application has yet been specified.
Target Milestone: --- → mozilla1.0
Agreed, I didn't intend to mean that we should change our behaviour for the case
where an application is specified; that works fine.
spam: over to File Handling.
