On the one hand, gives the browser a suggested filename. On the other hand, gives the browser a file extension, therefore letting it cheat and go looking for a plugin/helper-app. On balance, it probably is the best way to go with a modern mix of browsers. (IE5 I think was the one that always wanted to cheat.) --kag _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
