Since upgrading to 4.3, IE no longer shows the "Open" button in the file download dialog box

Question

This is small inconvenience that now requires IE users to download a file to a specified location and then open from the file explorer. In 4.2 and prior the dialog would have the Open button which allowed the user to open the attachment.

I will provide two screenshots which demonstrate the before and after behaviour.

I've added a new Knowledge base article on how to possibly get around this problem.

Please note that you have to implement this solution as your own risk!

Just to clarify this, it's actually only obeyed by IE, not by any other browser, as it's an IE specific directive.

This does happen on IE8 too, we only have IE8 in our business.
