I believe from previous posts that IE cheats on the content type of 
downloaded files by looking at the filename as opposed to the content type 
spec.  To get around it, you have to use the three letter file extension in 
the filename that corresponds to your file type (example: .jpg for jpeg 
files, .doc for Word docs, .exe for executable files)

And not just the name. Sometimes IE peeks into the file itself, trying to guess what 
it is. I believe it happens for unregistered file extensions.

Nix.
