Thank you for your reply.
Actually the code is working on netscape, and it also works on IE of some
machines but not all of them.
I'm wondering maybe something related to machine configuration.

MSIE uses the file .ext to determine content-type.
You could try this (where $file has the proper .ext MSIE wants):
Content-type: $mimetype; name="$file"
Content-disposition: $attach; filename=$file # no quotes on $file for MSIE ?
I haven't tested it, but I've read that MSIE doesn't like the quotes
around $file on the 2nd line - haven't tested.
