i am not sure how bad virusses are to run in wine, but i agree this isnt
really good. the problem is not the mime mapping because users should
still be open .exe files by clicking on them in wine.
However, firefox has tweaks for exectuables on windows to not suggest
"open with ..." at all for them (just download). I think we should get
that behaviour for linux as well.
