You should have specified problems with MSIE earlier.  I saw the
Netscape-ism and assumed you were having problems with Netscape, not
MSIE.

One of Microsoft's many weird fetishes is file extensions.
(see also the recent attacks where MSIE downloaded "image/jpeg" 
files bypassing the security manager, then cheerfully attempted 
to execute them since the "image" had a file extension of .exe)
(Another well-known fetish is the insistence on "drive letters"
long after computer networks became the norm in offices.)

Try changing the extension on your certificate to the .cer, which
I believe has the Bill Gates Seal of Approval for use as the file
extension for digital certificates.

If you still have problems, try changing the MIME type to
application/x509-certificate.
