Re: SM 1.4.10-22 and problem in IE with openning DOC attachment

Impressive, if this is the cause for the behavior we see here.

So it is a (another) nasty "bug" in IE and/or MS office (probably both, LOL). Better browsers, better Office ( LibreOffice, OpenOffice, and some others), , better email managers..

Now you should find solutions more easily around the web, if you still need. If you find anything that can be changed on Squirrelmail to avoid this issue, please post it here. It may not be hard to do, and maybe someone will want to do it.

See you
