The document type is stated as "text/plain", and Mozilla handles the content
like plain text. Internet Explorer seems to infer the content type from the file
extension, which IMHO is a bad idea.

BTW, Netscape 4.77 does the same thing as Mozilla, as does Opera. If Mobimate
had tested their site in anything besides IE, they would have noticed.

Summary: content served as text/plain instead of text/html → mobimate.com - content served as text/plain instead of text/html
The URL given works for me on Win2K Gecko/20020823 commercial branch.
The error has apparently been fixed on the server side. Resolving as FIXED.
