I am trying to figure out how to resolve PDF's being converted into .obj extensions in the archive (they get sent to list subscribers still in .pdf
form).
I have tried sending from multiple clients (yahoo, our webmail, and Outlook Express) and I keep getting this issue.
Ultimately, I would like the .obj to just be .PDF so end-users do not get the 'open with' dialog box.
Here is a sample archived message:
A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name: x-4.pdf Type: application/octet-stream
You problem is the MIME type the MUA attaching the PDF file is putting in the Content-type. It appears to be saying it is application/octet-stream rather than application/pdf
It is questionable practice to rely on the file suffix to ascribe content type and Mailman does not appear to so do, which is why a file originally called xxx.pdf becomes yyy.obj
If the Content-type is corrected I think you will find Mailman extracts the attachments into .pdf suffixed filenames.

Any help would be appreciated.
