 Hey Marc, thanks for the swift reply. Let me attempt to better define the
 problem. Microsoft Excel spreadsheets have the .xls extension.  When
 attempting to view from MS IE or Netscape the  file mime type is received
 from apache as text/plain. When loaded from a file it is received as mime
 type: application/x-msexcel. I have attached 3 bitmap files to further
 clarify what's happening. Please feel free to call me at 216-896-2826 if
 you wish. Again thanks for your help, we love the apache browser.
