If you only get "save", then as far as I know, the file type SM thinks it is is application/octet-stream and those are usually executables. As it's often dangerous to open executables from remote sources, we don't allow those to be opened directly, we only allow saving them, as then Anti-Virus software and operating system security rules can kick in to make you hopefully safe from trouble. If the attachment would have some file type set that fits better what's in it (not sure what's the so-called "MIME type" for Visio), then we would offer you to select an application, but when it's marked as "some binary application" (application/octet-stream) then we go with a "better safe than sorry" strategy.

Thanks Robert, very clear explanation ! In an example I see a MIME type multipart / mixed though... anyway, thanks for the details... and keep on the (very) good work for SM2 !!
