Indeed this seems to be the reason.

I am having the same issue and it only happens with documents that have
the following in the message source:

--------------000205080203070907060608
Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel; name="mydocument.xls"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="mydocument.xls"

0M8R4KGxGuEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOwADAP7/CQAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAAAAXwAAAAAA
...
...

Documents sent with the following source:

------=_NextPart_000_001C_01CAD63F.66378A00
Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel; name="mydocument.xls"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="mydocument.xls"

0M8R4KGxGuEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPgADAP7/CQAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAA
...
...

Display correctly.

It seems that thunderbird likes to use inline mode instead of
attachement. I do not know if it is because the file was dragged and
dropped by the user that sent the email though.

Some bugzilla links from upstream that might match this issue:
