the problem is in line 1:
if you download the file, then edit it to remove that line,
then access it as an HTML document in your own directory
(ie in public_html with the correct permission), it displays correctly;
at least that's a quick fix if you just need to read it.
i'm not familiar enough with HTML rules to explain
what's wrong with line 1, but probably another list member will know.
i used 2-8 ; 2-7-1 is now obsolete.
