For the archives and anyone else interested, IE for Mac apparently sends files in Macbinary format. Macbinary files are comprised of two parts: resource forks and data forks. The suggestion seems to be removing the resource fork which is info about the file, image preview, other stuff.
Here's one link about the basics... http://www.macdisk.com/macforken.php3 and another free Java MacBinary Toolkit from Gregory Guerin... http://www.amug.org/~glguerin/sw/#macbinary I imagine you wouldn't have a problem running turbine from a Mac and storing either PC or Mac files. I know from the archives (and other sites I've found) others have this problem, it looks like I'm going to try Gregory's toolkit unless others have a suggestion (or implementation). I have a situation where uploading has tested successful in all our tested cases accept Mac IE.
