Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
[SOLUTION]
Create a file association between .xlr files and openoffice.org spreadsheet per default.
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04
[BUG/TRIGGER]
What happened: A friend has send my girl friend an email attachment of an excel sheet which she saved as an .XLR file. When my girl friend tried to open the attachment with firefox, the file did not open. There was no application associated with it. It was just put on the desktop and the icon looked blunt; also double clicking did not help.
I solved it by manually opening Openoffice.org Spreadsheet and located the file from there, and the .XLR file was opened without any problems.
