Hi Simon,

First off, please don't send HTML mail to the list.

You will have to set the Content-Type HTTP header to do that:
REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', content_type)
where content_type is the right MIME type of the file you return, e.g.
something like 'application/msword' in your case.
Hope  that helps.

Cheers,

Gregor.
