On a message with attachments, click on Download attachment, select Open. 
If horde is running on an https server, the attachment will not open and the
application will report the file is not in the internet Explorer Temporary
Internet files.  After checking IE's cache, I confirmed the file is not in
the cache.  If the same procedure is repeated on the same server using http
and not https, the attachment is opens correctly with IE.

Other notes:
1. Attachment type does not matter - tested file types .doc, .xls, .ppt,
.pub, .jpg, .gif, .pdf
2. Placing the attachment in a folder on the server and accessing via
https://server/testfiles/test.pdf  allows IE to open or save the file.
3. on https server, selecting save will allow the file to be saved then
opened.
4. on https server, clicking "View" on a pdf attachment will cause IE to
display a file download box with the options to save or cancel
5. on http server, clicking "View" on pdf attachment will cause IE to open
the pdf in a new window
6. on http server, both open and save work correctly
7. Firefox  handles attachments correctly with both http and https

All tests were done using the same web server and same workstation.
