Incorrect file name when downloading an attachment on MSIE 6.0

Question

Hi guys,
Need some help, please,
In a web application on a user request a CVS file is generated with a servlet.
The problem is that when the user press the download button in the file dialog appears an incorrect file name ( instead of the right one, the name of the struts-action ), this is happening only in MSIE, with Firefox is working ok.
Here is the snippet:
response.setContentType("application/download");
response.setHeader("Pragma","");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","");
String externNo = "some_file_name";
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\""
+ externNo + ".csv\"");
... setting the content ...
I've found lots of topics about this subject, and try different settings for servlet header ( Cache-Control - public,etc), but still without success.
Can this be from a server setting?? We have 2 j2ee serversone on linux and one on windows. And the problem is only for the linux server, which I'm not sure if it have the same configuration.
Thank You
A nice day!
Bogdan

Hi,
In the file dialog should be "some_file_name.csv" but is "saveorderincsv".
Here is the code from jsp:
   function savePressed() {
       top.location.href = '/b2b/saveorderincsv.do';
       return true;
<input
     class="green" type="button"
        onclick="savePressed()"> .....
config.xml:
<action path="/b2b/saveorderincsv"
     type="com.moeller.isa.action.salesdocs.SaveOrderToCSVAction">
               <forward name="success" path="/b2b/saveorder" />
     </action>...
web.xml:
<servlet>
  <servlet-name>SaveOrderToCVSServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.moeller.isa.servlets.Z_SaveOrderSimulateServlet</servlet-class>
     </servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>SaveOrderToCVSServlet</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>b2b/saveorder</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>
....I've also try with "application/x-download" and without quotes, but still the same error.
