Downloading a CSV File

All code-behind written in C# but not certain it is a C# issue...

I have a page that dynamically creates a csv file (maillist.csv) in a
users' directory by selecting current data from their database. A hyperlink
to this file is generated on the same page.

If I look in the directory on the server, the file shows up as maillist.csv.
However, when I right click to save the file it shows up as maillist.xls.

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Sounds like an OS-file-association-related issue, rather then c#
