Hiya all,
First off I really love this forum, thanks to SoulTrader and all the other contributors.
Since the previous thread has been closed I couldn't post there. As far as I know IE guesses/computes which kind of attachement it is dealing with if the mime type is not set. FF doesn't do that.
To fix this the mime type needs to be set by the server, otherwise only client side workarounds can be used.
Here's a demonstration what the header reply looks like for 2 different attachements:

Unfortunately I don't know anything about VB so I can't say if this can be fixed and how much work it would be.
Cheers
