Jeff,
The content type is text/plain ... therefore somebody wants the output
to be text/plain. IE is changing this to display as text/html, which
may not be the intended output, but IE says that it "should" be. End
users and developers alike should think this is horribly wrong. IE is
overriding the developers intended output. You don't see this as a
problem? What other assumptions can be made that are "good" for the end
user?
(no offense intended, just bringing up a discussion point).
:)
