And if you ask IE to display text/plain, or binary/octet-stream,
the browser will laugh in your face and taunt you :)

The hint is to return a content-disposition header from http:, although
this is not an http: header, but a mime/smtp header.  Or be certain
the downloaded file ends in .txt to confound IE into believing it is
*really*, *really* a  text file.
