Thanks a lot for reminding me to compare the headers, I believe the
problem is partly solved.
Here is the extract from the header from OS/2 Mozilla:
>Content-Type: text/plain;
> name="testfile.rtf"
>Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
>Content-Disposition: inline;
and this is the corresponding header from Windows Mozilla:

>Content-Disposition: inline;
Even if I had already checked that the OS/2 version had
Navigator->Helper app->application/rtf defined, I discovered that the
application entry was blank, so I changed to "Save to disk". After
that change the OS/2 header changed to
>Content-Type: application/rtf;
> name="testfile.rtf"
>Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
>Content-Disposition: inline;
Is it a bug or a feature when Mozilla ignores the type due to
non-defined application?
The "user_pref("mail.content_disposition_type", 1);" that Parish
mentions is not in my prefs.js file. Have I missed an option
somewhere, or can it only be inserted manually?
regards,
Jan
