Anthony: I think you mean IE here.

whether I really understood Uli well.

Alain: Thank you very much, Anthony. This is genuinely
useful to me.
Alain: The strange thing about this is that I haven't
touched anything even remotely close to NetPresenz in
the last year, yet NOW my server is assuming that my
pages are octet-stream instead of text/html.
Power-line glitch? Electro-magnetic interference?
Virus? Dirty trick or inadvertant-error on the part of
one of the FTP users?
Alain: Either way, NetPresenz really sucks when it
comes to configuring it. For one thing, the
mail-server never ever worked. That's water under the
bridge, eh! But its configuration-suckiness does not
stop there. Our current problem with MIME-types is
usually an extremely easy problem to fix, but
NetPresenz does not seem to provide any facility
whatsoever to deal with the MIME-types. Go figure??
Alain: Bottom-line = I am going to switch to something
else for my G3-server.
