Hi Daniel,
I believe this is a browser setting, is it not? Using the default setup of
Explorer 5.2 for Mac, a clicked .mov file will play in IE.
To change this behavior, go to Explorer > Preferences... > File Helpers,
select QuickTime Movie and click Change... then switch Handling from "View
with Browser" to "Save to File".
I would be surprised if a file header could override this.. but if you find
a way, please let us know!
