That sounds like yet another really good sound reason for not using
Internet Exploder, if that's really the case. Any browser shouldn't be
determining the type of file based on the end-of-line character set.
Is your Apache server correctly setting the MIME type for a file based
based on the file extension (.html, .txt, etc.) like it should be?
Because *that* is what's supposed to tell a web browser how to interpret
and handle the contents of the file it gets sent from the server....
