hi there,

i am delivering ms office 2003 xml format file to ie7 clients. obviously,
the extension should be '.xml'. i'm unable to determine the proper mime type
that will
allow ie7 to preserve the file extension and not display raw xml in the
browser window.

any other file extensions cause excel to throw an error message on opening
that the file extensions and the file contents don't match.

any assistance most appreciated and please respond to this thread only if
you have actually made this work in the past.

thanks again.

office 2007 mime types are not of interest to me and please note that .xml
extension is not even represented in the list.

can anyone else help me out here?

thanks in advance.
