All attachment of my e-mails now get the name attachment.ashx. As a result clicking on them does not open them as the extension is wrong and the programmes (not reader, not word, powerpoint etc.) don't recognise the file. Downloading them means they all get the same name, ver very annoying. Problems only occurs since last update. In Outloop webapp.

Outlook Web Access sends an illegal Content-Dispositon header to Firefox. This is no longer allowed in Firefox 8. Firefox 9 will have a workaround for this so that Microsoft has time to fix their software.
