I am using IMAP (in case this makes a difference).  If I open an email with an
attached jpeg file, the message body and attached jpeg file(s) show up properly
in the message pane.  However, if double click on the *.jpg attachment in the
attachments list (or right click and select "open") it doesn't display the image
in a browser window like it is supposed to.  The browser window has it's URL
field updated to point to the image on the IMAP server, but the displayed page
is not updated.  If I put the focus into the URL field and hit "Enter" then the
image is displayed in the browser.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open an email (on IMAP server?) with attached jpeg
2.  Right click on the jpeg in the little attachments list and select "open"
3.  Notice the URL in your Navigator window change, but the page displayed
doesn't change.
4.  Put the focus in the Navigator URL input field, hit the "enter" key, NOW the
jpeg will be displayed in the Navigator window.

Actual Results:  
The image was only displayed after doing an "enter" keystroke in the URL input
field of Navigator.

Expected Results:  
When I opened the attached JPEG file it should have appeared in the Navigator
window without any further actions needed.

I found the workaround by accident (pressing "Enter" in the URL input field), to
a normal user, opening an image attachment (maybe just jpeg) simply won't work.
 That's why I am entering this as a normal severity, not a minor severity.
