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.

Didn't bother -- as soon as I saw the file size discrepancy I stopped.

Conclusion! Sending (at least some kinds of) text files via (at least
SM) as Appendices is unreliable.

I wonder if Windows could be responsible -- these files have no extension -- what if we temporarily rename them *.txt and then unrename them after receipt? Rationale -- the received file has to be "saved as..." something on the receiving computer, and the type that shows up on my system is "all files," whatever that means.

Other than that, I'm out of ideas.

P.S. Please go back to saying "attachment" -- "appendix" will confuse your readers as it's not a computer term.
