This is very annoying, so I just submitted a bug/issue at
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3611
You can go there and "star" the issue to get notified on updates.
I also looked into the source of the Email app. It's completely
incredible how many layers of indirection are involved after clicking
on the "download" button (which will not even be visible if the media
type is not supported) or the "preview" button. It finally ends up in
com.android.email.activity.MessageView.Listener.loadAttachmentFinished
(Account, Message, Part, Object) and if this is NOT a "download", then
this code will be executed (at least I think so, I currently can't
debug it):
Uri uri = AttachmentProvider.getAttachmentUri(
mAccount,
attachment.part.getAttachmentId());
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(uri);
intent.addFlags
(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
startActivity(intent);
As you can see, there is no intent.setType(), so any IntentFilter that
filters by type will not receive this intent.
