When I select "Download All My Games in One PGN" from the bottom of the games archive page, it says that it is generating a pgn file and will email it to me.
The file I get is not a pgn file, it is html code. Here is a bit of the file:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii">
</head>
<body>
[Event "Let's Play!"] [Site "Chess.com"] [Date "2010.11.05"] [White "Thundergod99"] [Black "Beamtuner"] [Result "0-1"] [WhiteElo "1077"] [BlackElo "1339"] [TimeControl "1 in 3 days"] [Termination "Beamtuner won by checkmate"] 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.g3 Nf6 4.Nc3
d5 5.Qe2 d4 6.Na4 a6 7.d3 b5 8.Bg5 bxa4 9.Bxf6 Qxf6 10.O-O-O Na7 11.Kb1 Bg4 12.Bg2 Rb8 13.b3 Nb5 14.Qd2 Nc3+ 15.Kc1 Ba3# 0-1 [Event "Let's Play!"] [Site
etc, etc. This file will not load into any of my pgn readers without heavy
editting, and even as an html file lacks line breaks, so even by running it through
a browser to extract the "normal" pgn text, I have to inset line breaks by hand
(and that's a lot for a file with a couple hundred games in it.)
What gives, and why doesn't it simply email me a plain-text pgn file instead of
html?
