Welcome newbieabc,
Are you saying that the file was attached to the email okay? If so, then we need to check the format of your file.
Excel can read most things quite well, but I think your file is space separated. If you use a comma to separate the columns and then see what Excel makes of it, that might help. The CSV does stand for Comma Separated Values after all.
If this still doesn't help, change it to be a .txt file and then Excel will launch the import wizard and guide you through opening it where you can tell it the column separators/delimiters or fixed column widths or whatever.
I hope that this helps. Let us know how you get on.

mlmmj-send
mlmmj-send(1) General Commands Manual mlmmj-send(1)
NAME
mlmmj-send - send mail to a mailinglist or similar
SYNOPSIS
mlmmj-send [-L /path/to/list | -l listctrl] -m /path/to/mail [-a] [-D] [-F] [-h] [-o] [-r] [-R] [-s] [-T] [-V]
-a: Don't archive the mail
-D: Don't delete the mail after it's sent
-F: What to use as MAIL FROM:
-h: This help
-l: List control variable.
-L: Full path to list directory
-m: Full path to mail file
-o: Address to omit from distribution (normal mail only)
-r: Relayhost IP address (defaults to 127.0.0.1)
-R: What to use as Reply-To: header
-s: Subscribers file name
-T: What to use as RCPT TO:
-V: Print version
DESCRIPTION
This binary is used to send all kinds of mail to mlmmj managed mailinglists, but can potentially be used standalone for sending mails.
The only option that is not self explanatory is the -l list control option:
'1' means 'send a single mail'
This is used together with -F and -T to send one mail to one recipient.
'2' means 'mail to moderators'
Used for sending mails to the moderators of a list.
'3' means 'resend failed list mail'
'4' means 'send to file with recipients'
'5' means 'bounceprobe'
'6' means 'single listmail to single recipient'
BUGS
This manual page is very scarce documentation of the mlmmj-send binary. The reason for this is that it's really not supposed to be used by
any human, but only supposed to be invoked from other mlmmj binaries. So in case more documentation is needed, please read the source.
