Package: Evolution
Priority: Normal
Version: 0.16.100
Synopsis: Evolution: Unknown Attachments can only be saved to disk
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer

Description:
Currently, if an attachment is of unknown type (basically, anything with
a strange dot extension, or NO dot extension), I must save it to disk
before I can do anything to it. It would be nice if I could 'force open'
such attachments in the external viewer of my choice. I understand that
it's not possible to associate with file types without an extension, but
if something is in Excel format, then it will still open happily in
Gnumeric even without '.xls' on the end. It would be nice to have the
option, which I do not currently appear to have in
0.16.100+cvs.2001.11.02.21.57.
