Description

[Eugene Olshenbaum]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529

If file attached is not recogonized by Mozilla it adds an .exe extension to the
original file name when trying to "Save As". Mozilla doesn't try to open the
attached file with OS default MIME viewer. No matter what user chooses, "Open"
or "Save As", the OS "Save As" dialog is being invoked with file name followed
by .exe. For example file.jpg is attempted to be saved as file.jpg.exe.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select an attachment
2 [review]. Select "Open" or "Save As"
3.

Actual Results:  
The OS "Save As" dialog is being invoked with file name followed by .exe. For
example file.jpg is attempted to be saved as file.jpg.exe.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should leave the decision what to do with a file to OS. In any case the
original file name must be kept.
