I disagree. Double-clicking on any file will open it to view the contents. This should not be different with an archive.

The proposed behavior could result in very bad behavior: if the user is in a directory with many files and the archive has many files, extracting the archive will be mix them together, making it very difficult to clean up.

The user can right-click and choose "extract here" if he wants does not want to view the contents before extracting the archive.
