Aha; so two problems:

(a) if you hover over the file.diff link on the left it says =93View the co=
ntent of the attachment=94 but that=92s not what it means as it delivers it=
 as:

	Content-Type: text/plain; name=3D"file.diff"; charset=3D
	Content-disposition: attachment; filename=3D=93f(b)ile.diff=94

(b) the =93diff=94 link on the right in the box is actually the =93show dif=
f in fancy web UI=94 link.

Would it be possible to change the hover of (a) to =93Download diff=94 and =
the link description of (b) to =93show diff=94?   Yes I bet that=92s upstre=
am stuff, but if I have to use this thing and not just swear about it I=92d=
 rather have someone improve it=92s usability
