the page itself is text/html and the exes are appropriate, the chl's are text. I
don't see a problem in moz 1.5b 2003091022. wfm.

the exes are HTML pages. NOT binaries. They are doing page redirection.

ok. confirmed. can you go ahead and contact them and tell them to change their
exe's to return a Content-type: text/html in the headers?
