downloads downloading as mail.js

[Dave2318]

Hi there, we have been running OX 6 for a while. Recently we have been getting users complaining that attachments aren't downloading. upon investigation it appears that with some attachments (possibly just htm files not 100% sure) when you double click on them or right click and select open it tries to download mail.js rather than the attachment, if you right click and select save as it works fine.
I have tried this on multiple computers with different versions of Internet Explorer (8, 9, 10) and all the same
If I open the mail.js file I get the following:-

{"categories":"ERROR","error_params":["charsetName"],"category":8,"error":"A severe error occurred.","code":"SVL-0011","error_id":"-1933107406-26354"}

and in the log file we get:-
SEVERE: Logged at: com.openexchange.ajax.requesthandler.DispatcherSer vlet.handle(DispatcherServlet.java:269)

We have had this problem on the past 3 versions of open xchange. We are now running v6.22.0 Rev5 and still experiencing the problem.

Anyone any ideas?

thanks in advance

Dave

Hi Dave,

what JVM are you running on that server?

Cheers
