OK. Operating in the blind but here's my best description:

- Disabled the Security item when you first suggested that approach.
Sorry for not mentioning it; Security tab remains 'Disabled'.
- Here is one of the Fiddler2 WebSessions URL's copied from the long
list:

Thanks for the link. It helps.

I didn't see that. I got a prompt to Open or Save. Clicking Open
caused it to open in Acrobat Reader. No sign of an aspwhile.
Perhaps the site was changed?

However, I'm using IE8 to read this which would account for the
X-UA-Compatible: IE=7
header. I wouldn't expect an IE6 user to get that.

I guess I forgot to tell you to click on the Reponse Headers button
but I think you found that anyway? Good work. ; )

The text of the original email I received which started all my confusion
and instigated my cry for help is:

"To view The Tattler (PDF format), please click the link below:
Tattler: 1-19-10"
"/club/page_navig.asp?CLNK=1&APC=FILELIB_DOWNLOAD&GRP=&NS=&FID=116541"

Your latest comment: "I got a prompt to Open or Save. Clicking Open
: caused it to open in Acrobat Reader. No sign of an aspwhile."
prompted me to go back to the beginning and I found the following which
is the full sequence of what I have to do to gain access to the .pdf
newsletter in IE6:

-Clicking on the Tattler link yields a small AdAware File Download
window with the .asp name and the Adobe PDF Reader as the type.
-Clicking on Open provides another small window "Open File -
Security Warning" with the .asp name and PDF type.
-Again clicking on Open provides a third small window "100% of
filelib_download.asp from ....".
-Clicking on the Open button yields another 'Open File - Security
Warning' window.
-Again clicking on the Open button I receive an Open With ....
window showing the "filelib_download.asp" with Adobe Reader 9.3 and
Internet Explorer as the Recommended Programs to open that file.
-Clicking on OK takes me back to the Open File - Security Warning
small window and finally, clicking Open presents a readable Tattler
newsletter.

Something is rotten in Denmark. Felt outlining the complete cycle was
justified and would present my frustration with the process. Also, if
the email is forwarded to Firefox there isn't any problem - the .pdf
opens first click on the Tattler link. Last, this problem has not
existed in IE6 until now; prior pdf files have opened first click.
Don't have any other .pdf emails with which to compare this process.

This should be the final gasp from here.
Have found the opening process can be shortened by clicking on the
Tattler link, saving the File Download (still shows the .asp) to My
Documents and then clicking on the My Docs entry. PDF file opens. Still
doesn't answer why the pdf file is showing as a .asp in IE but will have
to live with what works.

Trying out Chrome Google as browser and note the Tattler pdf file opens
directly same as in Firefox. IE6 browser only problem area. Remain
confused.
