Forgot to mention: yes, I've tried this with multiple text/plain files
on multiple servers.

Hmm.... we seem to be transfering text/plain out correctly. I would let Don

Sorry! I retested the next day, and I was sure I added a comment to this
bug report, but obviously not.

This must have been a temporary regression or dysfunction -
Pick your choice of RESOLUTION

Works correctly on:
WinNT 4.0sp3, mozilla.exe, 1999-10-20-08-M11 binary
WinNT 4.0sp3, apprunner.exe, M10 release binary
