Make excel think txt and csv are same thing
 
all txt files I use are really csv files with a txt extension. How can I tell
excel this so it will open and parse the fields when I double click the file?

Can't you make the sender change the extension to csv? If these are csv
files, then that's the extension they should have when they are created.
