Again: that's not what I'm talking about.
It's undisputed that there are probably many ways to circumvent the 
effects of the server's misbehaviour - using a proxy who changes the 
Content-Type header to something useful is one way, saving the file to 
disk and viewing it from there, as you did, is another (the latter will 
probably break links end references, though).
But still, whatever you do on your machine doesn't *solve* the problem, 
it can merely make it less painful.

Works for me with the KDE 4.1.1 packages coming with Intrepid.

Of course not. The only problem there is with this site is that the 
server is lying about the type of content it serves (and by saving the 
resource to disk you very effectively get rid of the wrong Content-Type 
header).
