(you'd think anyway :) There is supposadly a work around. I saw it fly by the list about 3 weeks ago. It is a custom Content-type: header that IE understands that has a recommended filename accociated with it. It is not in any HTTP RFC, but I think it is possibly part of another one. I don't have time to dig it up, but the answer is out there, try searching the list archives.
