The problem is most probably an end-of-line issue. Try converting your
.hex files to "dos" before sending them to your client. e.g.:
$ unix2dos hexfile.hex
Another thing I found is that some mail readers like to reformat files
when they're saved. So the other thing I do is package the .hex file into
a .zip file too.
