Reporter (witbrock): Is this bug still a problem for you with current builds of Mozilla? If so, can you report what the Content-Type is for the attachment (should be something like application/x-ms-excel)? And also, what are the settings associated with that type in Preferences|Navigator|Helper Applications ?
