about attachment with metasend command

Hi,

I used the metasend command with ( -n -f ) option to send an email with
an attachment. (-m ''application/zip" )

Normally it works for text files, zip files and excel files.

Suddenly, a user attached an excel file and I received two emails.

The subject is ' [WARNING : A/V UNSCANNABLE] [WARNING: A/V
UNSCANNABLE] ...............................(part 1 of 2) '

And the second email only contains non-readable data.

The I used the file command to see why normally an excel file can be
attached but not this one.

The format of the excel file which can be attached is : data

The format of the excel file which cannot be attached is : awk program
text

Anyone can help. Thanks in advance.

Ivan
