I think this is the problem in the first place. IE only guesses the 
content type if the MIME is something weird that it doesn't recognize. 
Would it be that bad to make it something like text/plain? It seems like 
the current fix, while it works, has caused a lot of needless confusion.

Official documentation on IE's MIME guessing:
