Hmm.. that may not be the best way to do it. The user can choose whatever browser they want, and set things like encoding type, etc. which might cause you a lot of problems. A cleaner way to do it might be to use the 'Content-Disposition' header (try a Super Seach on this), which will prompt the browser to download the file automatically.
This may or may not solve your actual problem though. If you've viewed the file with a hex editor once it gets to windows, and it has the correct EOL sequence, then I can't see why notepad should be putting squares after it.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
