IE does not behave as it should. A couple notes, while the extension is
used, it is not the only means. Thus an exe file is retrieved in bianary
mode and a txt file in text. But for unrecognized files (such as many disk
images) it checks the file's header info. If that appears to be text, then
text mode is used. Otherwise it is done in bianary mode.

The save as dialog has no bearing on the method of downloading. It's only
effect is to attempt to let you choose the name and check for other files
with the same extension. If you choose to rename the file, often the
extension will remain intact.

The moral of the story is that Macroslop has decided users don't know what
they want. Therefore they will decide. They will leave a few things in to
make those who foolishly believe they know what they are doing think the
OS is under control. Meanwhile Macroslop will still decide how things
should be done.
