Peter,

I've tried that too, but thanks for suggestion it.

The only reference to PDFs in the configuration is in the mime.conf file 
which has lines like the following:

\.bin$          application/macbinary           anthony-
unknown.gif     -       image
\.exe$          application/octet-stream        anthony-
unknown.gif     -       image
\.pdf$          application/pdf                 anthony-
unknown.gif     -       image
\.ai$           application/postscript          anthony-
ps.gif          -       ascii   +download
\.eps$          application/postscript          anthony-
ps.gif          -       ascii   +download
\.ps$           application/postscript          anthony-
ps.gif          -       ascii   +download +view
\.snd$          audio/basic                     anthony-
sound.gif       -       image
\.mp2$          audio/basic                     anthony-
sound.gif       -       image
\.mp3$          audio/basic                     anthony-
sound.gif       -       image

But I know that .mp3 files download fine and that renaming the file .bin 
works fine, so I don't think that this is significant.

Stuart.
