There might be a way to detach the attachment from email using the POP3
adapter. But Biztalk doesn't have any functionality by itself to handle
Excel fle.

Either you need to implement your own custom pipeline component to handle
it.

Or you can consider ItemFields document parser (http://www.itemfield.com)
