Within Mozilla under the Navigator preferences you can select Helper
Applications to be associated with particular file types. In the online
help it suggests the is an advanced tab where you can also choose a
Helper Application to associated with a particular file type when saving
or opening an attached file.

Viewing and Opening Attachments
If you receive a mail attachment that consists of a file type that
Mozilla can display (such as graphic files and HTML files), you see the
attachment displayed /inline/ (in the body of the message). For other
file types, Mail & Newsgroups lets you open the attachment using another
application, or you can save the attachment on your hard disk.
To open the attachment, make sure you have a program on your computer
that can open files of the same type as the attachment's file format.
For example, if you want to open a .DOC file, make sure you have a
program on your computer that can open .DOC files.
To open an attachment:
1. Double-click the attachment you want (if there is more than one).
2. In the Downloading dialog box, choose what you want Mozilla to do
with the attachment:
* If Mozilla finds an application on your hard disk that can
open the attachment, you can open the attachment using that
application. Click "Choose" to use a different application
to open the attachment.
* If Mozilla can't find an application on your hard disk that
can open the attachment, you can save the attachment. You
won't be able to open the attachment, but at least you can
save it on your hard disk until you can install an
application that can open it.
* Click "Advanced" to add a new file type to the list of
helper applications. Mozilla uses helper applications to
determine how different file types are opened by other
applications from within Mozilla. For more information, see
Managing Different File Types

3. Click OK.
