Hi All,

I got complaint from our HR staff  that their attachments in email was
corrupt.
(the example is simple txt file :
http://210.177.17.196/mis/temp/04120915.53r  which is download from our
absent time recorder )

when use diff to compare the orignal file and the emailed one :

# diff 04120915.53r after/04120915.53r
1,5c1,5
< 1000002371015501209D0A
< 1000002371015501209D1A
...
---
> 1000002371015501209D0A
> 1000002371015501209D1A
...

after many testing  I noted the way to avoid this problem is
1.disable Content Scanning (Dangerous Content Scanning = no)
2. use text format to send the email
3. change the file name with xxxx.txt

* we are using 4.36.4 MS

Our staff said no problem before alst week (we upgraded to  4.36.4  last
week), any idea for this?

Regards
Z.
