-   Internet Explorer is ignoring the mime-type you have configured for
-   the file and guessing the file type based on the filename
-   extension.  IE does this for any file which the web server marks as
-   application/octet-stream or text/plain.  Netscape, on the other
-   hand, properly follows the directions of the web server and treats
-   the file as text/plain (displays it in the browser window as-is) or
-   application/octet-stream (pops up a download window).
+   Internet Explorer (IE) and Netscape handle mime type detection in different
+   ways, and therefore will display the document differently.  In particular,
+   IE sometimes relies on the file extension to determine the mime type.  This
+   can happen when the server specifies a mime type of
+   <CODE>application/octet-stream</CODE> or <CODE>text/plain</CODE>.
+   (Unfortunately, this behavior makes it impossible to properly send plain
+   text in some situations unless the file extension is <CODE>txt</CODE>.)
+   There are more details available on IE's mime type detection behavior in an

    In order to make all browsers work correctly, you should assure
    that Apache sends the correct mime type for the file.  This is
