IE, HTTP headers, and file download handling
Hi,

I'm running IE/XP and for some reason when a script generates the HTTP headers to serve up a non-html file for download (such as attachments at GForum or in other similar situations) my browser fails to popup the download/save message and just displays the contents of the file as text in the browser window. This is really incredibly annoying, but I can't figure out how to fix it... Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
