title: Forcing IE to download NOT open files
body: <p>We have a simple html page with a list of links on a Tomcat server. Many of the links are just a simple .msg file for users to download, fill-in and send. Works great in Chrome but not in IE. IE tries to load the .msg file and all you see is 'garbally gook'.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried searching for answers but none have worked so far.</p>
  
  <p>Tried:
  - Adding 'download' to the  tag but of course this isn't supported in IE.
  - Tried adding a .htaccess file with: AddType application/octet-stream .msg, but this didn't work either.</p>
  
  <p>Tomcat is by Apache so I'm really surprised the .htaccess file answer didn't work. Some answers suggested using PHP or adjusting config files, but this is a little over my head. Who would have thought such a seemingly simple question would be so technical to fix!</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks for any direction you are able to suggest!</p>
