Is default to text in layout when file type is unknown proper?

In the above url (actually this is the link for <download>, the extension "qmb"
is unknown so the file is downloaded as text in the Mozilla window.  I wouldn't
even know how to add it to helper applications.  Also, I'm surprised that it
even got to the filename because there is no php3 in helper apps, just php.
The php script redirects to 
http://quickmenubuilder.free.fr/menus/Erin%Brockovich.qmb

the server tells us that the file is text/plain
the server is telling us to show it as text

marking it invalid.
the only thing you could do is contact the webmaster of the site and tell him he
should be sending the files with the  correct content-type

I see this bug has been tagged browser evangelism.  I wonder if there is also a
difference between the way we do things and the way the French are doing things.
 Just a little poke in that direction.  Actually doesn't sound like it from the
last comment.
free.fr is just sending the wrong mime type for this file.
they need to configure their server to send the right one...

The server's default content-type for unknown suffixes is probably text/plain.
