I just did and it works.  I originally had to use text/text as
text/plain wasn't working many moons ago.  One of the admins said use
to text/text.

I gather the "fix" is no longer needed and was removed Friday/Saturday.

As the speed of the web server dropped to cold tar running uphill
levels on Friday/Saturday, would another change to the web server's
confiig file be causing the problem?
