For reference see attachment... which i did by:
1)copying the message
2)pasting it into any word processor
3)saving the file into which ever folder I feel is appropriate
4)open an email composer of which ever email program or site most
appropriate
5)click "attach file" opening a file explorer (in the case with windows,
I am unsure of any other OS) and selecting the file /note: this will
also work for most other email/ email client folders as well.
6)Last step, write a message (optional) and send file to desired
recipient /note: in the case of most IMAP and POP3 email client software
it is required that you give the password of the email account you are
sending the message through.
Now why was it that my way seemed so much simpler???

Do you also see where the original and the received file differ in
content ?! How some of the records are changed between the original file
and the destination file? i.e. differences reported by fc.
Conclusion! Sending (at least some kinds of) text files via
(at least SM) as Appendices is unreliable.
