[GLLUG] fooling mozilla about mime-types

Hi,
I normally browse with Mozilla, but perhaps this applies to other
browsers as well.
Often times I want to view a file which is known to be plain text, but
has either an extension or mime-type (not sure which or both...) that
causes Mozilla to think that it can't be displayed. For instance, a web
servers sometimes send shell scripts out with mime-types such as
"application/x-csh". I just want to see the text in Mozilla, but it
throws up the download dialog. Anybody know of a way to get the Mozilla
to just display it?
Thanks,
Tom Rockwell
