Excel and Netscape

[Kevin W. Bishop]

I have an Excel file (.xls) for which NNavigator should prompt the user to
download the plug-in and MSIE should download directly.  This works at
present from an AIX/Apache server with a link like this:
<.../folder/folder/excelfile.xls>.

Now I've moved the file to another Apache server and while MSIE downloads
the file properly, NNavigator no longer prompts for the plug-in but opens
instead a single, extended line of goobledygook.  

Is this a server configuration issue?  A bug in Netscape?  

This matter is time-sensitive.  Quick replies will be deeply appreciated.
