How is the execute bit even remotely related to application/x-rpm?  If
you install an RPM from an untrusted source, you will be in trouble
anyways.  

If I have the mime type handler for RPM how will you tell anyways? 

So it seems like adding a safety net in Evolution for that would be a
good idea as well.
