Possible problem porting swat

[Christopher R. Hertel]

It sounds as though the MIME header is messed up.  When I look at
DIAGNOSIS.txt there is no MIME header so the local web browser should be
going to its MIME configuration (which should say that .txt is raw text). 
It might be worth-while to look at the source as SWAT is presenting it to 
see if some sort of header is being added.

On the Samba web pages we have a file called DIAGNOSIS.html, which 
contains only:

<!--#include virtual="/samba/header.html" -->

<pre>
<!--#include virtual="/samba/ftp/docs/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt" -->
</pre>

<!--#include virtual="/samba/footer.html" -->

Thus providing the <pre></pre> block to protect the text.
