Hi Jack,

I see. It seems like Outlook is converting the file. It has no
extension, and Outlook 'tries to be smart and think for you'. I hope and
think downloading a file with SeaMonkey from a website works without
problems. You can try with the following file

http://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/torios/README.txt

and check that the size and md5sum is correct

$ wc -c README.txt
230 README.txt
$  md5sum README.txt
366a2004a25867715983da3bd19d1238  README.txt

or if there are extra carriage return characters (ascii 13).

Best regards
Nio
