I grabbed a UDF from cflib.org and made it into a function in my utility CFC to assign the correct mime type
Enjoy ;-)

Thanks Bryan, but its not much better than the MS doc on this score.
One thing for sure: I've been lazy and used application/unknown to force a file download dialog. I'll have to revise my downloaders to specify a proper mime type and leave it to the user to be able to save what they get in the browser (i.e. a Word doc displaying onscreen).
