[thelist] What MIME type will cause Excel spreadsheet to download?

[Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com)]

Chris,

	The easiest way to do this (for any file type) is to think up a
mimetype that the user couldn't possibly have installed on his computer.
I'm partial to "application/aybabtu" myself, but you can probably have
some fun personalizing your own.

Cheers,

Hello,

In the application that I am working on, I am using j2ee to serve up an
excel spreadsheet. What I wondering is what mime type can I use in the
header to cause the spreadsheet to download instead of opening in Excel?
