FW: "Auto Detect" for attachment content type.

[Benton, Kevin]

Cheap trick in browsers...

If you want to specify a file type via the URL of a CGI, use this

http://path/to/my.cgi/filename.ext?thisvar=that...

Apache knows enough to stop at the my.cgi.  The browser doesn't,
however, and will take the extension specified.

	I looked it up, it's:

	application/vnd.ms-excel

	You can't control it. It's built-in to the browser.
