Right, I have seen this, too. This is a bug in Mozilla (i.e. not 
Beonex-specific), and you probably see the same bug in the upcoming 
Netscape 7. Even worse, if you fix the filename manually, the wrong 
extension is again added, sometimes.

Yes, it is a quite obvious and bad bug and I don't understand, why I 
didn't get more attention (i.e. has been fixed already).

I don't know of a workaround, apart from renaming the file (in the 
Windows Explorer or whatever file manager you use) after the download. 
Yes, this is annoying and (worse) completely confuses less 
computer-literate people.
