Yes that's a design error in TB. (sort of) Send yourself an attached .xls file
and open it in TB. You get a dialog box asking you what to do with it and there
you can choose "open it with oocalc". You also can check a box "Always perform
this action with this kind of file" and from that moment on Bob is your uncle.
No doubt the philosophy of the TB designers is that you shouldn't worry about
attached .xls files as long as you don't get them. They have a point there. :-)
