XCLN: Microsoft Excel Table Cut Off When Pasted into a Message

If you paste cells from a Microsoft Excel 97 worksheet into a mail message, the result is a picture pasted into the mail message, instead of an embedded Microsoft Excel object.

When you paste something into a message, Microsoft Exchange is not notified that you are pasting from Microsoft Excel, so it uses a default paste type of "picture" for the object, rather than embedding the clipboard contents as an embedded Microsoft Excel object.
