From another member of this mailing list:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If that attachment name is correct, you appear to be simply renaming
the file and it's still saved as an "ODS" file. It opens fine here
in OpenOffice, as an ODS file. When you save the file, make sure the
file type is XLS. This is done with the "Filter" selection, below
the file name.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The "Filter" selection is labeled "File type" and this must be
Microsoft Excel 97/2000/XP (.xls) if someone with MS Excel is to be
able to open it.
