Question

An author is preparing to send their book to a publisher as an email attachment. The file on their computer is 1000 bytes. When they attach the file to their email, it shows a 750 bytes. The author gets very upset because they are concerned that part of their book has been deleted by the email address

If you could talk to this author, how could you explain what is happening to their book?

Answer 1

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

My explanation to the author is that:

The reduction in size of the attachment doesn't mean that some parts of the book (i.e. the attachment) has been deleted.

I'll also made him understand that the book will retain its original size and contents after downloading by the recipient of the mail.
