confirm with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; de-DE; rv:1.1a+) Gecko/20020702

I have a similar problem in email. If I get an email with an attatched file to
be opened with "Works for Windows" (filename.wks) and I try to open that file,
mozilla wants to save it with the name "filename.wks.exe). I will check with
which bjuild that started.

Might be this effet always happens if it is a file without selected
helper-application?
