User-Agent: Opera/7.02 (Windows NT 5.0; U) [en] Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401 Since the first time I tried to open an .c attachment with Newsmail of Mozilla 1.1 (without saving it first on the hd), every attach is opened with MS Visual C++. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open an email in preview 2. Double click on the e.g. pippo.xls attachment I wish to open 3. See the Open Window titled "Opening pippo.xls.c" Actual Results: If I click on "Open it with the default application (Excel)" I see MS Visual C++ trying to open the excel document... Expected Results: No ".c" extension attached The first time I received a .c attachment I used the "Open it with" option and I choosed the c:\program.....exe of the MS Visual C++ application. Since that I always have to 1. save the attachments on my hard drive 2. rename the attachment removing the last ".c" extension 3. double click on the renamed file Any upgrade I tried hoping to remove this problem (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4a) didn't solve this problem.

Go into your helper app preferences, and remove the association of ".c" to "application/octet-stream". *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 189598 ***
