Congratulations on actually making those tests (we have a steady stream of people asking that question without even telling us *what* is "downloaded"). The answer is simple: MSIE doesn't even try to support plain text (just as it declines to make any attempt to support XHTML). Actually it's worse than that: if you serve plain text with a few pointy brackets in, MSIE may unilaterally decide to present it as "html". The MIME specs of 1992/3 explicitly warn of the security implications of doing that, to the extent of providing a recipe for writing an Outlook virus. > So my question is, do I have a) Apache configured wrong, b) exploder > configured wrong, or c) my perl written wrong?

That's what helper applications on the client are for. -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
