Description Tommy Harmon 2006-03-04 17:26:18 UTC 
When ever I would use "upload file" of the W3 html validator with IE7, the 
file would not validate. The file is not read correctly. It read as plain text 
instead of HTML. IE6 and FIREFOX do not do this they read correct file type. 
You can directly paste the file and it will validate that way but not if you 
upload selected file.

I can confirm this. Olivier should talk to his MSFT contacts again... and by 
the way, the XP SP2 issue got fixed for XP SP2, but never for Windows 2003 
Server, you might want to remind them of that aswell.

Tommy, can you confirm that more recent versions of IE7 (still under development as far as I know) have that problem.

Hmm then the bug title is erroneous, I'll remove the mention on IE6 there.

Contacted MS a while ago, got forwarded to the right people, but no news. Will re-ping.

As far sa I can tell, minus some specific version/service pack combinations, this problem is a thing of the past.
