forcing ie to save the contents of the html instead of displaying it

I have an html file where I display name,address,zip. It is one per line so
it is basicall a list of addresses.

But I would like ie6 to force the download prompt of this long list of names
instead of displaying it to their browsers. This way they can save the list
to a file. I know I can set it up as a txt file and let them download it
that way, but right now this file is generated from a source program which I
have no control over and it creates this .html file.

I looked around google and found a few things to try like:
<meta http-equiv="content-type","application/download">

<meta http-equiv="content-type","application/force-download">

<meta http-equiv="content-type","application/octet-stream">

<meta http-equiv="content-disposition","attachment; filename=list.txt">

but these dont seem to work at all.

Thanks for your help.
