If I get these types of emails I don't need to "save" them.  They won't
display "inline" but if I double click on the attachment it will launch
the "display" application.  This is controlled by the mimeTypes.rdf file
in your thunderbird profile.  I've attached mine as at .txt file and I
think it will make it to this list....
