Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
When clicking on the attachment "d2 dab bbc test.zip" in
http://
it tries to open the archive as a text file in a new tab.
This is the same in Windows XP and Kubuntu Hardy 8.4.1, but MS Explorer saves it as a zip file correctly.

I may be wrong but using wireshark you can see that you receive the next line:
'Content-Type: text/html'
which says to the browser it's a html page.
So it's a problem of that particular forum, but to discard it... can you provide us another link in which is happening the same?
