When I click on a link to listen to one of the archived shows, the browser
switches to a page that displays the following script:
<ASX version="3">
<entry>
<ref href = "mms://mind-win.com/randiarchive/2002_03_21.asf"/>
</entry>
</asx>

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

3.



Expected Results:  
Mozilla, ideally, should have launched the player.
The ASX files are being served as text/plain, so Mozilla does what the server
says and treats the file as a plain text file.

The fix is for the server admin to fix the server setting.  You might write to
the site and ask them to fix it.
