This was a bug that has been corrected in SVN.

These will open fine as-is.

I can provide a plugin that will force SM to display these natively
in-browser, or you can comment out the two lines in functions/mime.php
after this:

        // IE does make use of mime content sniffing. Forcing a download
        // prohibit execution of XSS inside an application/octet-stream
attachment

But please read those comments carefully and consider that allowing the
browser to load untrusted attachments can be dangerous.  Same goes for the
plugin I am offering.
