excel drops leading zeros while attaching through unix
HEllo All,

when the data file is being attached and mailed as file1.csv, the column data( e.g: 88E00, 99E00, 77F12, 66H18).
The data 88E00 and 99E00 is being converted to 88E+01, 99E+01.
All other data is fine.
I need the file attached as .csv from unix only.
Is there a way we can manage this at the unix end itself??
