James,
Your MIME types are fine. The problem, however is that you are trying to
view the wml pages in Internet Explorer. IE is not a WAP browser. You should
be viewing your wml pages from within a WAP simulator or and actual WAP
device like the Nokia 7110 WAP enabled phone. You can download many
different simulators at the moment, the most common being Nokia's WAP SDK
available from http://forums.nokia.com and PHone.coms UP.browser SDK
available from http://www.phone.com
If you don't want to download these SDK's you could use the Wapalizer
available at http://www.gelon.net
To find out more on WAP in general, you could try
http://www.anywhereyougo.com , http://www.gelon.net and the Nokia and
Phone.com web sites. Or you could subscribe to the CF-WAP mailing list by
emailing [EMAIL PROTECTED] including the word subscribe in the message.
Hope this helps you out.
