I would like to have some information about appended files with the
E-mail. I have had an instance where I was sent a mail and along with it
was an unencoded .xls file. Now I would like to know how can I read this
Excel file. I tried to read directly through Excel but gave me in text
format only. 

So if you know please send the related info. 

Thanks

Asit

Are you sure the file is NOT encoded?

Excel files are not 7bit, so they should be encoded for mailing. If not they may come distorted. Ask 
your sender for the filesize and check with your email, if they differ use encoding for mailing.

OR: Perhaps you are using an older version of excel than the sender?
    Then you Excel don't knwo how to handle the newer file.

Ciao,
 Michael
