          Components: Streams/Writers
    Affects Versions: 1.4

            Reporter: Shibu Kumar Nair


I have a struts 2 application from which user can download CSV file. 
The problem is 
 I download the CSV on the website then save to desktop of my computer and Open 
it on NOTEPAD... 
that works fine I could still see all the utf-8 text OK with no problem, but if 
I open the CSV file in Microsoft EXCEL, 
all the  utf-8 text are no longer readable. 

Does any one have the solution for this, how could I make it readable in MS 
Excel 
I am using org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils 
FileUtils.writeStringToFile(file, test); 
i also tried it with 
FileUtils.writeStringToFile(file, test,encoding) method 
Still the problem exists
