Hi Okar, the client decides what to do with incoming data in regard of the MIME type. Usually, there is a list of MIME type and corresponding action in the clients browser, and you can't change it from the server. Timo
Regardless the nature of the attachment, things are happening expectedly (as far as I tested) as long as the SAVE button of the browser's save-file dialog is clicked. The OPEN button works fine as well, for browser compatible files such as .jpeg, .gif, .txt, etc... But when it's matter of opening per ex. a MSPoverPoint *.pps slide-show file as attachment through the browser's save-file dialog (well, the button is there and any user may click it) the smooth running web client turns into a PoverPoint application opened through the browser's window with an empty project in design view.
