OK and headers

Is this the right place to ask?

I have a handler that picks up requests in a
specific location, and usually returns the
Apache constant OK.

Some of these requests are images. They display
fine in all browsers, but when a user right-clicks
and selects SAVE AS they only have an option to
save as BMP. This is in IE, Netscape7, Opera.

Do I need to send additional headers?

Thanks in anticipation

Thanks, Geoff. Turns out it was a logged bug in IE
combined with a human client who lied about other
browsers. Sigh.

maybe Content-Disposition would help.
