From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.7+) Gecko/20020107
BuildID:    2002010703

This page has a text/css display in the header, and the page won't display at
all. The page shows up with only the raw HTML code. The page renders properly in
both IE6 and Opera 6. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://allestacia.fateback.com/index.shtml

Actual Results:  The page displays raw HTML code, instead of a properly rendered
page.

Expected Results:  Getting a rendered webpage.
The server is sending the page as type text/plain.  IE and Opera will look for
the <html> tag and render a page as HTML anyway, but Netscape 4.x and Mozilla
don't.  I think there's been some discussion about this before, but I can't find
the proper bug for it.

Suggest this should be evangelism in any case.  The site's operator should make
sure their server is sending the proper MIME type for HTML files.
Confirming issue when loading sample url. However, file is correctly rendered
when it's on a local drive. Tested under OS X (2002-01-07-09) and Windows ME
(2002-01-07-03) builds.
