Before I start I should put a warning that I got up at 6.15am this morning
(which is about two an a half hours early for me) so I can't vouch for how
coherent I'm going to be ;-)

Anyway, it sounds like a mime-type problem that I.E. is ignoring and
netscape is probably doing the right thing to.

What mime type are you returning in the Content-Type?  It probably should
be text/html for the main document.  If you've got LWP installed I
suggest trying the HEAD command from the command line to see what
response you get, like:

[mark@pate mark]$  HEAD http://2shortplanks.com/
200 OK
Connection: close
Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2001 09:30:42 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.20 (Unix) mod_perl/1.25
Content-Type: text/html
Client-Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2001 08:21:07 GMT
Client-Peer: 195.82.114.169:80

You can see the text/html next to Content-Type.  Oh, and that my clock
is blatently wrong.

Even if it's not the main document it could be one of the images and/or
other parts of the content you're delivering has the wrong mime type on.
Images should be image/gif, image/jpeg, image/png or whatever.  If
anything is returning application/OCTET-STREAM or suchlike this is, um,
bad.  Again, you can use the HEAD command on the images' URLs to find this
out.

The former (the main document) would indicate a problem with your template
code.  The latter would show a problem with the rest of your server setup.

Of course, I could be barking up completely the wrong tree.

Later.

Mark.
