Ok, I've spent some time this evening changing things around.
Each attachment now has two links next to it: "View" and "Download".
"View" is the original behavior. It attempts to open the attachment
directly if possible. "Download" forces the content type to
"application/octet-stream" which makes the browser ask the user to save
the file instead.
As far as I can tell, this is the standard set of options for webmail
systems.
If I have solved your problem, please do two things for me:
1. Complete the translations in the .po file for the "View" and
"Download" strings
2. Erase this item from the Wishlist and anywhere else it's been
requested.
I hope this is satisfactory...
