Okay !!
I'll spare you the agony of searching through the archives
response.setContentType("application/cheese-burger");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;
filename=\"fname.csv\"");
Works for me .
What works almost always and is the right thing to do ( but with IE around
the right thing may not 'always' work)
response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;
filename=\"fname.csv\"");
Cheers
Mano

Check the archives. IE is notorious for ignoring all
headers and trying to "do it's own thing" regardless.
Mostly that works ok, but sometimes is causes horrible
problems. This has been discussed extensively, so with
a little hunting, you should be able to find the info
you need.
Hint: check out the Content-Disposition header.
