If you print an excel header then you have to print excel formatted
output, not HTML. There is no automatic conversion on either side of
the connection (at least without a pretty nice plugin that I don't think
has been written yet). There is a chance you could print an excel
header and then output comma delimited data but I would be surprised if
excel is that smart.
What are you really trying to do?
