Is [there] a way to have the file as the body of the message?

Not that I can think of.

It would be interesting to look at one of these Excel-embedded mails to see how it works. My hunch is that the message is being sent as a traditional multipart-mime message, where there is a HTML part that does nothing but pull in the spreadsheet file in an <object> tag. This is MS html we're dealing with, so there will be lots of other cruft in there as well, but at core I bet it's about that simple.

If that's the case, then you can reproduce this by sending your own, similarly constructed mail, where the html body is something like:

    <html>
      <head><title>$subject</title></head>
      <body><object classid="$hexadecimal_encoded_url"></object></body>
    </html>

There's probably a bit more to it than that, but that's close.
