Hello Binand,

Binand Raj S. saw fit to inform me that:

This I had done only after sending myself a word document :-)
I found that it is application/octet-stream and it opens fine but for other
files such as .tar.gz etc. it creates problems. I tried to change 
application/octet-stream
to application/msword but it won't work because word file is sent as octet-stream :-)

What is the remedy.

Thanks

Regards
