This was a session where it asked you to save the result?? -- Or was 
this perhaps just the next session you had, but which in fact did work 
as it should have? ... Also, I see nothing here that appears to 
indicate you tried to open a message screen, which I believe is where 
you said the problem occurred.

We'll need to see the transcript of a session where you get the 
particular behavior you described before.

This appears to have been a proper exchange between your browser and 
server, AFAICT. Of course, I only opened it as plain text to read the 
header exchange... not the IP packet info. So, I can't be 100% sure 
there's nothing odd going on here, but at first glance it appears to be 
perfectly normal on the HTTP level at least.

Also, can you tell us what you meant by:
> I am not prompted to

When exactly do you get that message? Which screen, which link, etc.? 
-- And that's only in IE, correct? So, have you tried turning off the 
"nice HTTP error messages" or "simple HTTP error messages" (whatever 
the preference is labeled exactly, I don't have a windows box here) so 
that you get the actual server response instead of Microshaft's "Errors 
for Dummies" messages? That could be helpful too... since MS's messages 
never are.

Anyway... Please try again with a new dump file (since I don't want to 
see all the sessions together in one file and try to wade through them, 
and I doubt anyone else does :) each time until you have a session 
which does in your browser exactly as you described earlier. Then post 
the URL of the relevant dump file, which I suspect will be more 
informative.
