I think this was kind of discussed on the email list in this thread..

and I couldn't really tell from Michael Slusarz's suggestion...

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=imp&m=111299329404449&w=2

if some sort of "fix" had been added to HEAD. 

My suggestion is to change the behavior of the link that contains the
attachment's file name when the mime driver's 'location' parameter is empty
or unset.  

Eg... say horde/config/mime_drivers.php says..

    $mime_drivers['horde']['msword']['location'] = '/usr/bin/wvHtml';

When a user gets a word attachment, the see something like..

  	2  	example.doc  	[application/msword]  	54 KB  	Download 

It shows the word icon, and when they follow the "example.doc" link, IMP
will try to invoke wvHtml, displaying an error message if it's not
installed.

Say there are users who still want the word icon to be displayed (so they
don't comment out /remove the "msword entry" from
$mime_drivers_map['horde']['registered']) , but don't want to install
wvHtml? What if setting 

    $mime_drivers['horde']['msword']['location'] = '';

changed the default behavior of the "example.doc" link from "invoke wvHtml"
to "download this file (using the horde download mechanism)?
