Apparently Mozilla will assume that anything in an <img src="*.*" /> type tag will be an image and decode it.

It works with Opera, Netscape and Mozilla. Dalton was simply wrong.

Dalton was referring to an <a href="image.txt"> type link (ie [url]) rather than an <img src="*.txt"> link (ie [img]). Mozilla treats the two differently.

He sure didn't make it obvious.

Opera can't read the txt trick if it's put as a url, not a img tag.

I'll modify the post to correct this oversight. Thanks for the tip!
