Open a .MHT attachment in Internet Explorer instead of Thunderbird.

When I get an attachment with a .MHT extension, Thunderbird automatically tries to open it. I checked the Options/Attachments/Incoming but it does not list .MHT and I see no way of adding it?

If I save it to my hard drive and open it with Internet Explorer it opens without issue.
