from the FAQ:

"FAQ: Problems with downloading attachments with Internet Explorer versions
4
and 5

   Certain versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer have a bug in HTTP/1.1
   protocol  implementation  that  results in MSIE reporting random weird
   errors when downloading attachments.
     
   Here's how to tweak Apache to work around this particular bug. Add the
   following   directive  to  Apache's  httpd.conf  forces  the  HTTP/1.0
   protocol response for Internet Explorer clients:
BrowserMatch "MSIE [45]" nokeepalive downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0"

apparently the same problem persists with microsoft internet explorer 6.0
and mozilla 0.9; I am trying it on a RedHat 7.1 "server" installation mode,
with apache [running as default].
I am accessing webmail through a user created by qmailadmin into a virtual
domain created by vpopmail. I am able to authenticate into sqwebmail into
the IMAP account, and sqwebmail had the following compile options: 

./configure --without-authpam --disable-changepass --without-authshadow
--withou
t-authpwd --without-authuserdb --without-authldap --without-authmysql 

I repeat, my problem is attachment handling. I had the same issue with
Mozilla 0.9, it downloads a file in few milliseconds but the file is
unusable.

I can download the attachment via calypso (a mail client), so the IMAP
server works fine. And the file is an .mp3, just because I needed to try
something big (it's 6.1 megs) - oh, yes, I own the cd from which I ripped
the mp3 :)

ideas, patches, thoughts?

thanks in advance
