[thelist] SSI problem!

Your server is not configured properly, cause when I try to reach the .shtml
file, I'm being asked to download it, instead of having it being served.

My guess is that .shtml is not the extension you're supposed to use. I
noticed the other file is .htm instead of .html

Have you checked with your sys admin about which file extension you're
supposed to be using? (I've seen .shtm sometimes but rarely).
Because of the .htm extension I'll assume you're on NT (but it's a big
assumption)
If that's the case, have you tried using .asp as the extension?
