Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530

when i get an email from a mail client that doesnt send a content -type of a
attached document basing on system preferences it prints
Application/Octet-stream. the problem goes when you does not want to save the
attachment but rather view it. no matter what was the file extension of sent
file i cant make mozilla react diffrently basing on my content type of the
received file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
send an email with client that does not post the windows attachemnt type - ie
pegasus mail.
Actual Results:  
one gets an email with attachemnt yet when trying to open 

Expected Results:  
if mime header is Application/Octet-stream mozilla should try to read the
extension connotation on my filesystem.

Unfortunately, Mozilla does this by design and shows no inclination of changing.
