XLS as MAIL attachment....points Guranteed

Question

I am sending one xls file as mail attachment.
The following code is sending the mail pefectly, but the attchment appears with a different icon, not as xls icon in the attchment, as it normaly does if we use so00 for sending a xls attchment thorugh mail.
If i download the xls attchment in local pc after opening the mail, it does open with Excel application, but if double click on it in the mail itself, its not opening in normal text format in sap text-editor in read only mode, not as xls file.I suspect something is wrong...here is the code..please let me know about your suggestion..
For Max, and those who answered my last question, i will reward point to deserving answer after this post.. i got disconnected while surfing...sory for the delay.
