[thelist] text/plain vs IE & Opera

[Marek Kilimajer]

Hello coders,

I want to keep plain text formating of the output, so I send out 
Content-Type: text/plain header, this works fine in mozilla, but IE and 
Opera want to download the file. Still if I point the two browsers to a 
.txt file, they display the file as expected.

Am I missing something?

Thanks
