Issue Details

I sent an email with an attachment using the LabVIEW SMTP Email Palette. I found out that the attachment size received by the recipient is sometimes incorrect. How to ensure the recipient always receives the complete attachment?

Solution

This issue could be caused by the timeout configured for the Send.vi not being sufficient for it to upload the attachment completely before sending the email. Factors such as network speed may be causing a higher timeout value to be required by the Send.vi. Increasing the timeout value for Send.vi should resolve the issue.
