This time I'll try to send this also to the list. The fix in the
CVS did not work. But I did some further testing with imp/view.php and the
attached patch seems to make it work with IE 5.5, Mozilla 1.1, Netscape 4.79.

This patch removes the application/x-unknown-application-octet-stream and
replaces it with application/octet-stream mime type. This patch also
removes IE quirk feature. The mime type correction and IE quirk removal
was needed to make it work with IE.

This patch is for CVS RELENG:
