Good I am not sure what MTA you are using, but your and my quotes are not 
clearly distinguishable in gnus (Emacs).

I don't think it would be possible to install gnumercis (which is a compiled C 
binary I think) or xlsx2csv  in emacs. I am not sure that it would make sense.

These are external programs and my lisp wrapper simply execute them, in order 
to do that the path to that executables must be set correctly in emacs, where 
you start them.

I mean the line

  (let* ((source-file  (file-name-sans-extension (buffer-file-name 
(current-buffer))))
         (org-odt-convert-processes '(("gnumeric" "~/.local/bin/xlsx2csv %i 
%o"))))

org-odt-convert-processes is supposed to use gnumeric and xlsx2csv and
in might be necessary to use an explicit path like 

         (org-odt-convert-processes '(("/gnu-giux/usr/bin/gnumeric" 
"~/.local/bin/xlsx2csv %i %o"))))

Or whatsoever

There are so many distributions that this is difficult to know.
Different in which sense?
