Do you have this problem with all 'Office' attachments, or only some? What about non-Office attachments (eg PDFs, JPGs)?

Are you trying to open these attachments from your email application, or are you saving them to disk first? With the Excel file, did it have a .xls(x/m) extension? If not, what extension did it have?
