I have an active document server style plugin that is used under
internet explorer for certain mime types. If you click on
a link to a file with the mime type where the link has a target, it
correctly opens a new window, or takes over an existing window
(if there is a window that was opened with that target).  But the next
link that you click on with the same target opens a new window, even
though there is a window (with my active document server in it) with
the same target.  Links to PDF files seem to not have this problem, so I
guess it must be something odd about how my active document server
registers it self, or some COM call from the many possible COM interfaces
that it is answering incorrectly, but which one?
(Or are PDF files treated special?)

Thanks
William Bardwell
