How to send Java Mail with EXCEL attachment?

I tried the following:

ByteArrayDataSource bs = new ByteArrayDataSource (is, "application/excel");

as my datasource (all other apis are fine)

But when I send this message with this datasource as attachment,I get a ParseException with the VM complaining about malformed headers.

Please help

Exactly when do you get the ParseException, and what's the message

with the exception?

BTW, "application/excel" is not the correct MIME type for Microsoft Office

Excel files. The correct MIME type is "application/vnd.ms-excel".
