Actually in this case the CR is introduced by the web-browser. Unknown
files is downloaded using image (binary) transfer mode, and sent to the
web browser with the MIME type text/plain to allow easy viewing of
unkown file types.

This should probably be changed in the default mime.conf to use
application/octet-stream for unknown filetypes.

How:
Change the last lime of mime.conf to read
. application/octet-stream anthony-unknown.gif - image +view +download

the +download is actually redundant here, but I prefer to have both on
all types to have more consistent file listings.
