According to the OP on 6-26-10:

SeaMonkey doesn't give me the option to automatically save certain
file types - the latest example being
http://www.cacetech.com/sharkfest.09/DT5_Varenni_WinPcapDosDonts.pptx
(...)
and the 'Do this automatically for files like this from now on.' line
is greyed out.

SeaMonkey stores download associations per MIME type. The problem with the download from the address above is that it is delivered with MIME type text/plain. That is, like application/octet-stream, too generic to be stored. You wouldn't want any text file to be opened with the program you choose for this .pptx file, right?

The only way how to solve this issue is by fixing the source, i.e. the web server that delivers that file (cacetech.com).

You can find out about these issues by either using the Live HTTP Headers extension or using the wget command line tool (available by default on most Linux machines) with the -S parameter.
