I'll bet this is a common problem, and for every person who joins the
list to ask what to do, another 10 just give up.

Other sites read the user-agent string from the browser and use that to
direct the user to the right download automatically (with a small
"choose other file" link just in case). Is anyone interested in adding
this feature to the Gnucash web site? Failing that, who do I have to
talk to so that I can add this feature to the site?

Cheers,
Eric
