Some (old) versions on IE do not care about the MIME type, but look at the file extension only.
I remember being frustrated about that with a IE for Macintosh (was it 4.5?) displaying .shtml files as text.
The only solution was to rename all of them to .html (and set apache to parse all html for SSH, ouch :-(
What version and OS is that IE? Try to upgrade it. And use Firefox anyway.
