[Quoted] i experienced the same problem, but was not able to explain or resolve why [Quoted] forms is causing the problem

but if you look closely at the url you'll see the extension on the temp file [Quoted] is malformed '.9htm' instestead of '.htm', so the browser interprets the [Quoted] file as a text file instead of an HTML file

AFAIR, refreshing the browser window will display the file correctly
