In addition to what Robin wrote, could you create a file with this
characteristic that does not contain any personal information? If you can do
so, please post the file to the Internet and report back here as to the URL
for the file. That way, others can look at it and possibly decide what is
happening.
If you can not find another web site, send it to me as an attachment to a
reply to this email. I will post it to my web site and inform others of its
location (URL).
