 Odd email glitch - Cliff Pope
I have just sent an invoice as an email attachment, but the word document, when read by the recipient, is slightly different from the one I sent. The figure of £4,400.00 has become £4,440.00.
It sounds unbelievable, but seems to be true. Talking to my colleague apparently this is a known glitch, caused by the compression and then re-constitution of data. Sometimes bits get transposed or lost.

What do you experts think about this - can it really happen?
