Hmm... opening the file with the original code stub file (cfcontent and all) in notepad, saving it again as utf-8 seemed to at least let firefox download the file contents download OK, but the filename still shows up as -------.doc. Same with Safari... exept the name is all ????.doc
IE just dumps the unicode mess out to browser.. how annoying.... the digging continues.
