you aren't saving it as anything. you're having the browser perceive it as
something. it makes a determination as to what action to take based on the
headers you specify.

try:

content-type: application/force-download

see if that helps.

in the end, you can really only help a browser along its way...it will do
what it wants to do or think it should do. is ie displaying it as an excel
doc with in the browser at least?
