This behaviour is quite annoying.
It is also true for, e.g., Excel Files.

I noticed, that it occurs whenever the file is to be downloaded via a script.

here is an excample URL (taken from my local otrs installation)

http://127.0.0.1/otrs/index.pl/MITGLIED.XLS?Action=AgentTicketAttachment;ArticleID=11;FileID=3

The download dilog only offers me to open in gedit or save to disk.
The default action for application/ms-excel is "open with libreoffice calc" but in this case it is ignored.
