When using Firefox to view the wholesale catalog located @ 
www.stickfiguredistro.com/wholesale.html which is in an HTML version of excel 
here is what is shown:

<html xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">

<head>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta name=ProgId content=Excel.Sheet>
<meta name=Generator content="Microsoft Excel 10">
<link rel=File-List href="Recordwa1_files/filelist.xml">
<style id="Recordwa1_10298_Styles">
<!--table
{mso-displayed-decimal-separator:"\.";
mso-displayed-thousand-separator:"\,";}
.xl2410298
{padding-top:1px;
padding-right:1px;

mso-ignore:padding;

Expected Results:  
view http://www.stickfiguredistro.com/wholesale.html using either IE or 
Netscape
The page contains http://www.stickfiguredistro.com/records/wholesale/list.txt as
an iframe.  This page is sent as text/plain, and Firefox correctly renders it as
text/plain.

Broken website, -> tech evang.  Please email the website owner and tell them to
fix their mime types (probably by changing their file extensions).

Summary: well not view the excel spreadsheet in HTML form → stickfiguredistro.com - HTML served as text/plain (and with .txt extension)
/me realizes this bug was filed *by* the website owner.

The easiest way to get most servers to send a file as text/html is to rename the
file to have an .html extension.
