I recently needed to send a software key to a remote colleague who needed to reinstall some commercial software after re-installing Windows. However, after the key failed to authorize, an investigation determined that the key was corrupt in the email he received from me. The first line of the key was truncated and repeated. This message only passes through the company email server, so the problem is limited in scope. (I have transmitted the key in another way in the meantime.)
The key is 6 lines of plain text, visible non-blank ascii characters only. The first line of the key is: PXP70-KK4tQ6fJQYAI32PugLL4GK9pJOZT4ocM9J0ICAoharwSAYhplSMpFm+n+b2xJ65hNI043 which becomes: PXP70-KK4tQ6fJQYAI32PugLL4GK9pJOZT4ocM9J0ICAoharwSAYhplSMpFm+n+b2xJ65hNI PXP70-KK4tQ6fJQYAI32PugLL4GK9pJOZT4ocM9J0ICAoharwSAYhplSMpFm+n+043 by the time it is delivered to my remote colleague. This is repeatable, and this symptom also occurs if I send this key to another colleague working in the same remote location. It does not occur if I send this key to myself. We are using different email clients. If the cause of this problem is obvious but overlooked by me, please let me know. Thanks.
