I think this is a Windows/IE problem, not a LUGNET problem. :-(

Well, it's a LUGNET problem even if it's an MSIE bug, right?  :-)

I think there's another thing we can try.  I remember reading once that MSIE
in its infinite wisdom sometimes ignores MIME types and gleans the file type
from the extension in the URL -- and you can trick it into doing the right
thing by using a faux URL parameter.

Hmm.

Something to try:

What happens if you type the following into your URL bar?--

  http://news.lugnet.com/news/ldraw.cgi?lugnet.cad.dat.models:1812&poo.ldr

I get this:

"Article lugnet.cad.dat.models:1812poo.ldr not found on server."
