mpt, what sort of data does this file contain?  The fact that it's not text/html
is not a good sign....

Seems to be something related to drag/drop.  We probably need to do special 
handling of "internet shortcut"-like files on Mac, too.  Resetting component.

Hmm, summary says saved. Must be ben's!

(this is not drag and drop only per original report...)

This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported
by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies
there as well or resolve this bug.

I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken.
To filter this and similar messages out, please filter for "mac_cla_reorg".

OK, when using Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.6a)
Gecko/20031013 I can open files saved with MS IE 5.2, when they were saved as
HTML. I can't open files which were saved as web archive (which is the default
on IE). But this seems to be covered by bug 82118.

Based on that I can say that this is not an issue on OS X, so I'm marking this
WONTFIX, since we no longer support Mac Classic.
