Seems not to make a difference. My IE7 machine is back now and seems to 
not mind that Content-Type. See below

The Type and Disposition I had before. The solution seems to be to 
(also) use echo instead of fpassthru. This was something I considered 
myself just before your post but didn't I have time to test until today.

This:

now works for me in IE7.

Thanks.
