User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401

The web site does not display in HTML, instead it shows up as plain text HTML
code, this web site works fine in IE. The web site I believe an ASP file, that
is done to circumvent AOL's caching system. Mozilla should be able to understand
that this is a ASP file that is worded fine and display it approietly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Goto www.drryan.net
2.View plain text code
3.

Actual Results:  
I read over the plain text

Expected Results:  
It should have correctly displayed the page as IE or other browsers do, arrange
text properly, format text etc. 

This web site I believe is an ASP file.

The page with the code is a frame: http://www.structive.org/drryan/index.asp

That page is sent as "text/plain":

The server sends the wrong mime-type and this works in IE but this is a bug in IE.
Asp doesn't matter because the browser gets only HTML and in this case text.
