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.
SO sorry, I mean Attachments, of course.
However, I most strongly suggest that you do a content comparison of the
source and destination files! before hypothesizing.
Since you appear to be on an MS Windows system, you should have fc .
Run fc/n sourcexxx destxxx.
