I'll hypothesize that it's because IE is guessing based on the file's extension. That is, IE is deliberately ignoring what the web server is asking it to do with the file. So there's a bug in IE and there's a bug on the website. It is of course debatable whether mimicking the IE bug is a good course of action. At the moment, in Epiphany, the choice has been to not duplicate the bug. -- Adam Hooper [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ epiphany-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/epiphany-list
