Shortly:
You have csv file which is something like:
And when you open in Excel by clicking your email attachment, the looks like:
It's Excel import default. I have not found any setup in Excel where you can change those defaults. So: M$ knows better what you need as you . If it looks number then it's number and you don't need leading 0's. If excel import string which include only numbers then it can't be string ...
If you like to keep those leading 0's in numbered string then you need import file to Excel:
* save your Attachment to some.csv
* Import a text file by opening it in Excel
* use wizard
* setup delimiter, setup those columns to text type, not default
And you have leading 0's. So they I have planned in Seattle. It have to be difficult to say that this is string, not number.
You can use example ssconvert to convert csv to xls including some defaults ..., but if you change those fields to excel string formattadding ' before values '00001,'00012 then ssconvert ex2.csv ex2.xls 2>/dev/null fields look nice including 0's and send it.
ssconvert can be installed to the Ubuntu and Debian:

I have a script which is taking a 10 character variable (BOC) input by the user. If it begins with a zero, the script unwittingly strips that off, & passes a 9 characters variable.
echo -n "Enter core-follow date/time for BOC: "
