Receiving garbage in excel when rendered via Subscription

Hi,
I set up a standard subscription and am rendering the report to excel.
After recieving the email, I open the excel report and it displays a bunch of
garbage. Is there a known issue or a patch out for this?Did you install the SQL 2000 Reporting Services SP1?

assume this is the same as Excel exporting garbage? One other item, when we
include the link in the email, the link itself is placed on two lines. The
top line is a hyperlink and the bottom isn't. Meaning, you can't click on it.
We have to place the top line in and then go back and copy the bottom line
and paste it after the first. Can this be fixed?

around the problem in some cases, but unfortunately it is impossible to
control what users select when they create a subscription.
I want to make sure that people were aware of a third-party product,
Proposion Report Adapter for Microsoft Reporting Services and Lotus
Notes/Domino, that fixes this problem and a lot more. It not only
allows you to deliver reports via NATIVE NOTES MAIL, it also allows you
to use Notes/Domino as data sources for reports and/or allows you to
automatically deposit scheduled reports into Notes databases.) See
http://www.proposion.com/ReportAdapter.
