Question

How do I get HTML attachments to display properly with firefox? When I attach foo.htm and create an automatic link IE will open the file as an html file, however firefox opens it as a text file. If I attach the file as just foo (with out the htm suffix) firefox and IE both handle it properly. However creating html versions of files from Office without a suffix has proven difficult (at least for a linux weenie like me:))

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

To try and protect the innocent TWiki is configured by default to rename .htm and .html attachments by appending .txt to the filename. You can change this behaviour in configure. Look for Security Settings -> Miscellaneous -> {UploadFilter}. If a filename matches this regular expression it gets .txt appended.
