Hello, Julian
 
Did you have a change to read my posts about the text files. I'm having
this problem with these particular text files and some binary files...
 
I put the two problematic files in an web page, if somebody could make a
test and see if it happens in your location too, would be intersting.
 
The first one (file.prj) goes out from Outlook Express with 1,80 Kb, as
an "ASCII text, with very long lines, with CRLF line terminators", and
goes to the destinatary with 1,93 Kb, as an "ASCII text, with very long
lines".
 
The second one is a bigger file, identified only as "data" by the file
command. It goes out with 916 Kb, and goes to the destinatary with 952
Kb. Really strange...
 
(The sizes of the files are the one presented in Outlook Express, I just
put these sizes here to show how the file sizes are diferent in my outbox
and the destinatary inbox).
 
The two files are at http://www.rudnick.com.br/files
 
Regards

The problem does not occur for all text files. I didn't figured out when
it happens. The files where I encountered the problem are identified by
the file comand as:
 
ASCII text, with very long lines, with CRLF line terminators

I'm facing a strange problem here. I have a RHEL 3 server running
Sendmail + Mailscanner. When I send a message with a text file
attached from my Windows 98 machine (I use Outlook Express as my
mail client), the text file, that was a DOS file, goes to the
destinatary as an UNIX file.
 
How can I solve this?
