Steps to reproduce:

Right click an attachment file on a message window and choose "Save as..." or choose multiple attachments, right click on them and choose "Save as...".


Actual results:

A Windows save dialog opens but the "Save as type" menu has only one option "All files (*.*)" and if you write a new file name without an extension, the original extension is not added automatically into the file name.


Expected results:

The default file type option should be "(*.myext)" where "myext" is the extension of a chosen file. If you type a new file name with no extension, the chosen extension should be added into the file name, when the file is saved.

This is what already happens, if you receive an email with a file link, right click on it and choose "Save Link As...". Try it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/skins/contrib/Mozilla/bugzilla-magnifier.png
