The easiest way with netscape is to try to load the picture (even if you
get garbled text) and then click on View -> Page Info (or CTRL+I).
As for why it shows correctly in a web page - you're explicitly defining
it as the image source. MIME type doesn't enter in at that point, as
you can use a cgi or other executable to draw a picture, or use other
sources in your IMG tag.
