That's indeed what you see in your browser, but that's not exactly what
the server sends to you. Actually, what you're getting is:

<pre><!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/openwebmail/openwebmail.pl" -->
test
</pre>

So the Server Side Includes are simply not parsed. According to the Apache 
documentation, this is what you need to do:

"The following directive must be given for the directories containing the
shtml files (typically in a <Directory> section, but this directive is
also valid .htaccess files if AllowOverride Options is set):

Options +Includes"

Read all about it on http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_include.html
