No problem, we just wanted to be sure we weren't missing something 
obvious like a different version of the function already in place.

yup, that was exactly what were were planning.  The simple passing of a 
third argument which acts as a flag to determine if you care whether the 
  Content Disposition is inline or not i.e. 0 if you want to only apply 
to  inline and anything else if you don't care.

Once we've got this working we can share it with the list if you're 
interested?

Thanks.
