More or less this is exactly the correct result.  Content disposition is
"inline",  but Mozilla can't do much with an "application/msword"
document.  In evolution I can
view-inline/save-to-disk/open-with-a-helper-app  from a context menu, 
I'd assume you can do much the same thing in Mozilla mail.  Basically
what you have is a Windows specific mail message.
