I cannot read an Excel Attachment. Why?

Assuming you have Excel on your computer and the attached file has no problem
opening..........

Do they still have the *.xls extension or a .DAT extension?

If your email client is OutLook Express and the sender is using MS Office
OutLook(not OE) to send the files, request that he/she send them as
attachments using "plain text" as opposed to "Rich Text
Format(RTF)".
