iconv detected an illegal character in input string in xls column when using email as input

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When parsing a excel column that contain data as like, some@mail.com.

then it shows 500 error with summary output.

but it solved using ,

function 
Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader($file='',$store_extended_info=true,$outputEncoding='') 
{
        $this->_ole =& new OLERead();
        $this->setUTFEncoder('UTF-8'); // newly added line
