The web server is mis-configured -- it is sending a Content-Type
of "text/html" instead of the proper "image/jpeg". So Netscape
and many other browsers will try to display is as though it was
HTML. In many cases, such as this, IE looks at the contents of
the datafile being sent and overrides the specified Content-Type.

IE's doing this is generally considered to be wrong, even though
in *this* case it seems to be working getter. The correct way
of dealing with this is to fix the server.
