If you're using direct downloads from the webserver (PmWiki's default), 
then you may need your webserver to be configured to recognize .svg
files as having Content-Type: image/svg .

Or, you can set $EnableDirectDownload = 0; in a local customization
so that Attach: links go through PmWiki instead of directly to the
webserver.  Then PmWiki will be able to provide the correct
Content-Type header that the webserver isn't providing.

(Disabling direct downloading does increase the load on the webserver
somewhat, since every request for an attachment requires that PmWiki
be executed instead of being fetched directly from the filesystem.)

Hope this helps,
