Hey All,

I have the exact same issue as trollchik, in
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.jakarta.poi.user/19545  has anyone
ever reached  a workaround?

I receive an email with an xls attachment that I cant parse when it comes
straight from the sender system. If I save the attachment to my local drive
and then parse it, 
everything works as expected. 

the error I get is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The supplied
POIFSFileSystem does not contain a BIFF8 'Workbook' entry. Is it really an
excel file?

When the sender sends the email it includes in the body that the file format
is Format:Excel8

I can send an old email with no sensitive data if anyone wants to take a
look.

Apologies for cross posting but I'm at the end of my tether on this one.

Cheers,
Will
