   In my example, the file has already been delivered as an attachment.   
      
   It's begging to be opened as a normal looking .XLS file.   :(   
      
   When I need to send XLS table/data, I usually convert then to PDF which most   
   recipients "trust" especially if they know it's coming from me.  And, I don't   
   just send the attachment with a stupid message like: "Here it is." "Open me."    
   I   
   always include a message that can identify that the message is 99.999% truly   
   from me.  My message includes clues about why the attachment is being sent.   
      
   But I get pissed off at emails that purport to be Resumes, arrive as .ZIP   
   attachments, and the body of the message says "This is my job   
   application/resume. Password is 1234".   Jeeez.
