By and large, i find force-download and saying the content type is some
sort of other format (x-octet-stream, iirc) works fairly well in IE. I
always have had the sneaking suspicion IE caches any file it recognizes
regardless of what any header says, though.
If you resolve this _please_ post how you did it - this is a problem i
always run into with IE. The solution always seems to be different,
too.
