Check this http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1441

Then apply the following patches to Zope/lib/python/webdav/Resource.py :

diff -c Resource.py Resource.py-patched
*** Resource.py Thu Mar  2 16:37:27 2006
--- Resource.py-patched Thu Mar  2 16:37:25 2006
***************
*** 71,76 ****
--- 71,77 ----
          if not hasattr(response, '_server_version'):
              response.setHeader('Connection', 'close')
              response.setHeader('Date', rfc1123_date(), 1)
+         response.setHeader('MS-Author-Via', 'DAV')

          # HTTP Range support
          if HTTPRangeInterface.isImplementedBy(self):

Then the following to Resource.py :

bash-3.00$ diff -c Resource.py Resource.py-patched
*** Resource.py Thu Mar  2 16:37:27 2006
--- Resource.py-patched Thu Mar  2 16:37:25 2006

              response.setHeader('Connection', 'close')
              response.setHeader('Date', rfc1123_date(), 1)
+         response.setHeader('MS-Author-Via', 'DAV')

          # HTTP Range support
          if HTTPRangeInterface.isImplementedBy(self):

Works for me with Office 2003 products.

PS: Just noticed Tres' comment about comming up with a patch which
makes the header
addition configurable. I'll try do that on my next Zope upgrade.

Patrick.
