Not quite.

I got an EMail the other day with a link to:

http://accu.org/content/journals/CVu28.6-qvrA.epub

When I click that link in K9 Mail on my phone the file *is* downloaded 
but I am offered a choice of opening it only in File Explorer or WPS 
Office. These both open the epub file as an archive and show the files 
contained within, rather than displaying it as an eBook.

Once the file has been downloaded I can open the FBReader app and open 
the file explicitly from there, but FBR doesn't seem to be a candidate 
for opening the file from within K9 Mail.

I'm not sure whether the problem is with K9 or FBR, but it's not 
impossible to work around.
