Well, they are not completely ignoring MIME. The MIME type 
audio/x-mpegurl did work without the proper m3u extension,
see <http://intra.b.lab.net/cgi-bin/audiompegurl.pl>, MPEG 
video in MPEG audio filelists. Dont try this on Unix..

And I just managed to display also a MPEG video filelist
<http://intra.b.lab.net/cgi-bin/videompegurl.pl>; with Microsofts
WMP. Works with <http://www.uni-bonn.de/~uzs106/blatv.mxu>; too.

Open Netscape, Edit, Preferences, Navigator, Application, add
a new entry, enter video/vnd.mpegurl into the MIME field and
m3u, not mxu, into the extension field and let the checkbox
unchecked. 

The mysteries of Windows, sorry for the plug, on FreeBSD it is
just a shellscript and mtvp. No extensions or whatever.

May work with the IE too.
