Consider Outlook 2000's cute trick of encoding attached PDF files in quoted-printable, if the message is styled text and Outlook's global preference for styled messages is set to text/rtf (the default) rather than text/html. Unfortunately, the quoted printable does not conform to the quoted printable spec. Outlook 2000 can understand it, if the recipient happens to use it. Other MUAs (including Outlook Express) cannot--they tend to produce a faulty PDF file which crashes Acrobat (and, in those days, Acrobat Reader) on any platform. (For text/html, the encoding of the attachment is correct Base-64.) --John -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
