Var s2 As String = m.SourceWithoutAttachments

// normalize line endings for split
s1 = ReplaceLineEndings(s1, EndOfLine)
s2 = ReplaceLineEndings(s2, EndOfLine)

Var l1() As String = s1.Split(EndOfLine)
Var l2() As String = s2.Split(EndOfLine)

MessageBox _
  "original "+s1.Bytes.ToString+" bytes and "+l1.Count.toString + " lines" + _
