You mean the windows habit of attaching them as octet-stream types? I
set my binary handler to be emacs (you could make it your editor of
choice) so I can pop it up on the attachment and cut and paste quote
from the editor. I have to report that this does have some unwanted sid
effects in mozilla: some pdf attachments come as octet-stream as well
and the binary handler overrides the file type handler ...
