Ok,
but I don't want Mozilla to handle the attachment. Finally I want to 
detach the "BI-keuze.doc" and open it with startoffice. I don't think 
Mozilla should care about the attachment type. It just should decode the 
attached message the right way and offer me a chooise of what I want to 
do with it.
Or am I seeing this wrong?
