I have never seen an m3u.shtml file on the net, only ones like
playlist.m3u or playlist.pls...
Maybe you could post a link?

How should Firefox know that m3u.shtml is supposed to be a playlist? 
.shtml is just the extension for SSI-HTML, it has as much to to with playing
MP3s as .html or .php or .txt etc.

Also when I click on the MP3 link in your mail, Firefox opens a download dialog
instead of playing it with mplayer-plugin, which usually means the
webserver is not configured to offer the file as an MP3 but just as a
generic data file...
