Default Droid Phones - Opening Excel attachment

Good Afternoon,

SyteLine 6.01
Progress 9.1C18
smtpmailpub.p Version 5.7b

The folks that use Droid phones can't double-click on an attachment sent with a Progress program I wrote that emails an Excel spreadsheet as an
attachment. I'm creating the Excel file with the same COM commands I've been using for years. Here is a snippet of how I'm calling the email
routine:

ASSIGN c-fito = 'emailaddress@mydomain.com'
c-ficc = ''
c-fiFrom = 'emailaddress@mydomain.com'
c-fiFileType = 'xls'
c-fiFileName = 'd:\temp\MyReport.xls'
c-fiSubject = 'My Report'
c-fiSaveName = ''
c-fiFrom = c-fiFrom + chr(1) + "no,no".

/* Email the spreadsheet */
RUN send-smtp-email(
INPUT c-fito,
INPUT c-ficc,
INPUT c-fifrom,
INPUT c-fifiletype,
INPUT c-fifilename,
INPUT c-fiSubject,
INPUT c-fiSaveName).

This program has been used for a couple years with no changes. The cell phone users are using an App called Documents To Go, and the folks using BlackBerry's can open the attachment by double-clicking on the file, just like the pc users. We're only having trouble with the Droid phones.

If I manually create an Excel file, and manually email the Excel file, the
Droid users can double-click on the attachment and open it. Should I be
using a different filetype than xls, like binary?? If anyone has any
suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Dave
