When emailing an excel spreadsheet from within excel, the compose window appears
but the file name appears as a scratch file name with a .tmp extension. It
should have an extension of .xls. The recipient's mail client can't recognise it
as an excel document.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open excel document, eg Myfile.xls.
2.File/Send to/Mail recipient (as attachment)


Actual Results:  
A thunderbird compose window appears with a file attached with a temporary file
name, eg 3B.tmp.

Expected Results:  
A thunderbird compose window with the file attached with an excel extension, eg
Myfile.xls or book1.xls.

This was working as expected in version 0.9.
