#11012: Download warning is unclear

Users do not understand what the download warning message means. The help
desk often gets requests asking for clarification of this message. The
message is
{{{
An external application is needed to handle:
%s
NOTE: External applications are NOT Tor safe by default and can unmask
you!
If this file is untrusted, you should either save it to view while offline
or in a VM,
or consider using a transparent Tor proxy like Tails LiveCD or torsocks.
}}}
I propose the message be replaced with a shorter, more direct message in
simpler language.
