How they invoke it depends on the browser and on its settings. Your
job is to honestly describe the content which you're offering.

If that's your question, then mine would be "how do I configure my
browser to avoid this kind of interference by inconsiderate authors?"
If the user's browser consents to it, /your/ answer is the
"Content-disposition" header. Look it up for details. I still say
that Philip is right, and your job as a considerate author is to
honestly describe your content-type, not to try to second-guess what a
user might want to do with it.
