I would suggest to make a copy of the mbox file (SM not active) first
and to work on this copy.
Sending a file (whatever it is) as a message attachment usually works
you did not tell how the file would be used after it was sent..
use it as a mbox file in seamonkey ?

I made a try of what I have said
- SM closed
- take a copy of a mbox file ( with total commander utility )

Did you compare the mbox file with copy1, to verify that you have
a faithful copy?
I am assuming that you are on a Windows system, and
the contents of the mbox file are complete messages including
full headers and seperator records. i.e.
 From - {date stamp}
X-Account-Key: ...
X-UID: ....
X-Mozilla-Status: ...
X-Mozilla-Status2: ...
X-Mozilla-Keys: ...

- (launch SM) send a message with this copy as attachment
- receive the message and save the attachment as copy2
- compare copy1 and copy2 --> same (use of 3 different utils, TC,
examdiff, winmerge

and compare copy2 with the original mbox file?
since the purpose of all this is to send a faithful, exact, copy
of the mbox file.


I explained how I made it in order that you would be able to make it yourself, I was assuming that you know how to copy a file securely. at this moment I can add that it is a bad idea to read a file already open in read-write-update mode by another application. Comparing files by opening them in a vi like editor sounds curious, you just are misusing your brain. Apparently you think Seamonkey is not able to send a file correctly as an attachment. Dont't you think that if it was the case, we would have discover it already ?
