------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Nov 22 13:28:34 +0000 2008 ------- No, that extension isn't sufficient. When one of my business partners sends me an Excel spreadsheet by email, I need to be able to simply double-click it and trust that when it opens, the numbers will be the same that he used. Having to run a program or the like just in case he used text instead of a number does not cut it. And as long as this bug isn't fixed, only Microsoft Office satisfies that need. That is why I proposed earlier to remove support for .XLS altogether - broken support like this is worse than not supporting Excel at all. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
