One way to tell for sure is to find the full URL
(http://host/path/foo.doc) by which you can retrieve the file into your
browser, then use telnet to pretend you're a browser:
$ telnet host 80
HEAD /path/foo.doc HTTP/1.0
[blank line]
Then the host should respond with something like:
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Date: Wed, 07 Sep 2005 23:42:04 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) PHP/5.0.4 mod_ssl/2.8.22 OpenSSL/0.9.7d
Content-Type: text/plain
The "Content-Type:" header gives the MIME-type of the file. If that
header is present and says "text/plain", the browser has no excuse to
not display it as such.
