You say "open with" but that usually means open with something other than firefox - exactly what did he open? Why can't the original file be downloaded again?

Dump the GUI and use a tool that is designed for the task. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
