IE saves .cue files as .html, Firefox does not

Kind of a random question here and not really a big deal but I've got some mixes up on a site and a link for the mix and a link for the .cue. When someone right clicks and saves the .cue, IE renames it automatically and saves it as a .html. When doing this in Firefox, the file saves correctly as a .cue. Is this just the nature of the beast or is there a way, some code or something in the page, to tell IE to keep the file a .cue when downloading?

You can try it right now actually just right click and save as the .cue file in my signature.

Might be an idea to zip them up, either together with the mp3 or alone. That way it'll get downloaded properly on any browser.

the down loader may have to select "all file types" with IE. Also the web-server you have may send the wrong mime encoding. With most MS products you can force a filename by using quotation marks ("myfile.cue") around it. This is a way to prevent notepad from saving files as .txt.
