Sometimes website forces file download, but when file is a supported type, then it's stupid to open another program, to view, for example, a photo.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open http://foodformonkeys.blogspot.com/2008/11/monodevelop-20-alpha-2-is-out.html

Actual Results:  
download is somehow forced

Firefox telling it can open it

Opera does this well
