IE ignores text/plain (again)

ignores again "Content-Type: text/plain" as shown by

In my experience, IE treats the above document as text/html.
By contrast, the document
http://www.user.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/temp-4.text
is treated as text/plain by all IE versions I could find.

IE 9 (Windows 7) shows it as text/plain, so there's hope.

AISB (in de.ALL), it is the DOCTYPE switch. The "IE versions" you "could
find" range from being proclaimed dead to out-of-date. There were not meant
to deal with HTML5 pseudo-DOCTYPE declarations. (The funny thing about this
is that it disproves the HTML5 people when they say that `<!DOCTYPE html'
suffices for backwards compatibility.)
No message is that important that it needs to be multi-posted and cross-
posted at approximately the same time. Certainly you could have waited with
multi-posting until you had gotten responses in one top-level hierarchy or
were considerably sure you would not get any there. That is what I would
have done.

I do not think this belongs in ciwb.ms-w. F'up2 ciwa.html.

Anyone who slaps a 'this page is best viewed with Browser X' label on
a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days, before the Web,
when you had very little chance of reading a document written on another
computer, another word processor, or another network. -- Tim Berners-Lee

IE9 finally gets it right.

I should lend you my MacIE5 where both the above are treated as
text/html.
