For future reference I strongly suggest you put your text files inline
in the email rather than attaching a zip file that includes files with
no extension. Otherwise you have to save the zip file, extract it,
change add file extensions and then view the three files. Frankly not
many people are going to bother and will just ignore your email.
For the benefit of anyone interested, this is what the files contain:
Basefile:
Line 1
Line 2
This is a long line
Conflict line in the first file
end of file
Theirsfile:
Line 1
Line 2
This is a long line
Conflict line in the first file
a++
end of file
Myfile:
Line 1
Line 2
This is a long line
a++
end of file
