User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

To download a thunderbird theme you need to download a .jar file.
The instructions are: Right click and choose "Save Link As...".
But if you do that you will get a save link as, but with the default filename
"install.php" and the extension drop-down in firefox is "text file".
I belive that you just need to send the http-header "Content-filename:
<themename>.jar" or something.
That would be a great fix. Currently it's a hassle to download and preview themes.
I also miss more screenshot-previews, but that's another issue, and it's
proberly just because of the theme-developers.

Thank you,
   Seph

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a theme, click it.
2. Right click, choose "Save Link As..."

Actual Results:  
Save-file dialog pops up with the default filename "install.php" and the
extension drop-down only has one option, which is "text file"

Expected Results:  
Save Save-file dialog pops up with the default filename "<themename>.jar" and
the extension drop-down should be "jar file" or something like that.
