  1. Compose a message in Mail for Windows.

  2. From an Excel spreadsheet, select an area and choose Copy from the Edit menu.

  3. Minimize Excel.

  4. Return to the previously composed message and choose Paste from the Edit menu. The object is now embedded, but the border appears to be drawn incorrectly.
