Hi Experts ..

Please help me out getting an idea in this issue .Currently we are using a XM formatting to send mail with an excel attachment ( with formats like fonts and colors used in that ) .

The issue is its size is big when we compare with normal Excel file,I mean If I copy and paste the excel attachment in mail to a normal excel file the size is reduced from 7 MB to 500 KB.

To reduce this memory I have an requirement to send an excel as attachment in mail with proper formatting but not using XML . The size issue is coming because of this XML format.

Please is there any solution to send a mail with EXCEL attachment with proper formatting but without using OLE concept and XML .

Thanks in advance.

The difference in size is probably due to the XLSX compression (XLSX is XML zipped). You have many answers in the forum how to do XLSX.

Indeed, there's even a complete example for the very same problem!
