X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is IE 8's solution to its content-sniffing woes. See this blog post: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/09/02/ie8-security-part-vi-beta-2-update.aspx We should add this header to all Bugzilla attachments we serve. Gerv

Comment on attachment 462254 [details] [diff] [review] patch - v1 Tested with IE6, IE8 and IE9 + Fx, Opera, Chrome, Safari and Konqueror, and this is working fine. IE8 correctly stops sniffing the file content. Of course, IE6 doesn't care, as expected.
