This does bring up a question however, I was under the impression that when
sending files it was the browser that interpreted the mime information and
loaded the appropriate program.
Secondly, when uploading an xls file to the server it is reported as being
application/msexcel on both of our systems and if you use
accept="application/vnd.ms-excel" on the cffile it will fail (I know this
because this is done on a different section of the site involving importing
values) and this is why I was using the other mime type.
I am convinced that this is all Microsoft's fault. ;-)
