If you save the attachment to the desktop can you open it directly?

Also when you open it with Mozilla is that on the same persons computer?

It sounds like an association issue to me.

Is it really an .xls file type or is .xlsx?
The default Office 2007 file formats are not compatible with previous versions. If you're trying to open an xlsx file with an older version of excel, you need the Office Compatibility Pack
