When you look at the email source (Control-U), do both attachments have

It often happens to me that I receive emails (e.g. from the web interface
of GMX) that carry .DOC, .JPG, .PDF or other attachments but just use
"Content-Type: application/octet-stream" for any attachment, regardless
of the actual file type. I haven't found a way to make SM 2.0.x (Linux)
offer multiple choices for binary files. At least for pictures (.JPG)
there is a little trick: you can select "view source" for the attachment
and SM displays the image in a new window.

I get "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;" whether SM gives me the option to open the doc or only to save it. The same applies to pdf files, which just like Word docs will sometimes let me save only and sometimes offer me the choice to view without saving first. The odd thing is that SM always correctly identifies what sort of file it is in the download invitation window, but even though files of that type are listed in Helper Applications with a designated opening app, I still get this inconsistency from one email to another - sometimes an option to open (with specified app) and sometimes no choice but to save it first.
