Cross your fingers. seriously. if you set cont type to something which the file is not (like in your case html is not an xml spreadsheet whatever you are trying to claim). If you want to have a certain type of file to be open with certain app you have to configure the client machine to associate this type with that app. Or use an existing association (s.a. the csv hack proposed)
