[FX.php List] [OFF] Trouble with clients trying to download DOCX files from web server

[Bob Patin]

My client just emailed me from Japan, said it's working now. I added  
docx to the mime types list in OS X Server, and apparently it works  
now when he clicks a link on a page.

Thanks for all who gave input.
