RE: Double-click emailed AS400-created file and open up in Excel,automagically

Dan,

The .csv extension works when the attachment is comma delimited, Excel opens
it fine when double-clicking it.  We have e-mail attachments from the 400
that work this way.  As far as embedded commas, I think CPYTOIMPF will
handle that fine with a comma delimiter because the character fields are
embedded within quotes.
