Default Literally displaying imported cells with and tags

Hi,
I'm exporting contents to excel from a web application. Each row looks
like this:


"3101" "American Express" "Fort Lauderdale" "FL" "Deployed" "Windows
2001R1" "<![CDATA[<HTML
<BODY
<P
<BIMPORTANT:</B We have updated server. You must click the button
again to receive your account information.
<P
More text goes here
</P
</BODY
</HTML]]"

However, when the file is opened in Excel only the text in the last
column is displayed (the tags and all the other cells are missing). How
do I get excel to just print all columns and the literal contents
without trying to do anything smart? I know if I get rid of the <HTML
and <BODY tags it works, but unfortunately I need to leave them in -
and they need to show up as <HTML and <BODY.
Any ideas?

thanks,
Orlando
