            Bug ID: 54506
           Summary: Inconsistent handling of excel from email source
           Product: POI
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HSSF
          Assignee: dev@poi.apache.org
          Reporter: wcasey@comaccapital.com
    Classification: Unclassified

Created attachment 29908
  --> https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=29908&action=edit
Outlook email message with excel attachment that hssf wont open

I receive an email with an xls attachment that I cant parse when it 
comes straight from the sender system. 

If I save the attachment to my local drive and then parse it, everything works
as expected.

I can send the original email if the attachment gets parsed without any issues

thanks
Will

--- Comment #1 from Nick Burch <ap...@gagravarr.org> ---
I don't know whether it's Outlook / Exchange doing something very odd to the
file in transport, or if it's just a bizarre file to start with and saving it
out gets it fixed.

One thing that makes me think the latter is the references to "Crystal Reports"
in the file. That is well known for producing "interesting" excel files...

The file only has a BOOK entry (not Workbook), and no properties/metadata.
However, when I add an exception for BOOK much as we already have for WORKBOOK,
all seems fine.

So, I've updated the naughty list to include BOOK in r1443745, and it seems to
just work...
