Not here. I get TIFF. Googled a bit, searched into preferences, could 
not find a way to modify that. It could be a Safari issue, or most 
likely an OS X issue, as the same happens to me in Firefox and Chrome. 
FWIW, I'm using Safari 5.0.3 (5533.19.4) on OS X 10.5.8.

Anyway, the TIFF reader is working here and solves the issue for good. 
Now I just need to get permission to publish it.

Cheers,
