Are they missing a \r at the end of each of 150 lines? If that's the difference, I'm not sure that there's anything you can do about it as the sending MUA is not properly encoding the data. I.e. if a <CRLF> vs a <LF> line terminator is significant, I think the data should be base64 encoded. I know Outlook and maybe other Microsoft MUAs do encode some PDFs as quoted-printable, but I suspect this is wrong. OTOH, if some data are quoted-printable encoded as something=0D=0A= or other or equivalent, that should decode as something\r\nor other and if it is decoded as something\nor other then the decoding is wrong -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
