There's no FTP-style text-vs-binary in HTTP. Sounds more like IE is doing something different based on name. This is probably the same bug that let in a generation of Outlook viruses, as described in the MIME RFCs going back to 1992. Offering them at a .txt URL may be the best fix for broken so-called browsers. You could also use mod_txt with apache to convert to HTML formatted to appear as your original text. -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
