When downloading the uploaded file, the browser recognises the file as a zip file, but the OS recognises the file correctly as a .docx To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/803229/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
