120806 - "message/delivery-status" attachments won't display

Description

[Jim Avera]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.7+) Gecko/20020115
BuildID:    2002011508

When an e-mail bounces due to an invalid mailbox name,
sometimes the bouncing MTA includes an attachment with 

  Content-type: message/delivery-status

If you try to open this attachment, Mozilla insists on
saving it to a file - it won't show it to you on the
screen.  But there is no obvious reason it can't be shown
directly.  Should it be?  (if not, can Mozilla at least
offer the user the option of displaying the text instead of
forcing it to be saved to disk?)

I extracted a raw message from my Inbox which shows this problem.
I'll add it as an attachment.

Attachment: Inbox msg with Content-type: message/delivery-status which wont display

Sorry, the first attachment contained some garbage.  
Please look at this 2nd attachment.
(I don't have permission to mark the first attachment obsolete, but it should
be)
