IE will attempt to display any file that starts with the characters html (yes - no closing angle bracket) as an HTML file, no matter what content-type is reported. probably because of the issue with the default content-type in IIS being application/octet-stream and IIS having no mime-magic functionality. -- Oded ::..

Re: www.pmo.gov.il
Just ask him to fix the headers to give content type of text/html.
