Note:

You can't proof whether additional data is attached or not.
To reach this, you would have to create a checksumm of the
MemoryStream and attach it.


Hinweis:

Es kann nicht überprüft werden ob zusätzliche Daten in der Datei
vorhanden sind. Um das zu erreichen müsste man eine Checksumme des MemoryStreams
erzeugen und ebenfalls anhängen.
