The way to tell the browser that is to send "Content-type:
text/plain" instead of "Content-type: text/html".
Unfortunately, Microsoft for some reason intentionally
includes a bug in IE that causes it to ignore the content
type when it's text/plain, assuming that it knows better
than the server does what type of file the server is
sending.  There's no real solution, other than to tell
people to get rid of IE and use a browser that follows
standards.
