Actually this isn't correct. Older browsers always supported longer than 3 digit file extensions. It was the servers handing out the pages to the browsers that couldn't handle .HTML extensions because their file system supported only 3 letters.

I was using the first versions of Netscape and Mozilla on Windows 3.x without any problems fetching any file extensions. You could always tell when you were visiting a Windows server verses a Unix box because of the 3 digit extensions.

HTM or HTML has always been a non-issue.
