I have a really nerving problem:

I am using the Mozilla 1.1b and I try to send a message with
a PDF-document attached. Although I have the "quoted printable MIME" 
option switched off in the "preferences->mail&newsgroups->composition"
menu the mailer sends the message so that the receiver is not able
to read it, even myself (!).

The attachemnt's MIME-header looks like this:

Content-Type: x-application/pdf;
  name="filename.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Disposition: inline;
  filename="filename.pdf"


But the mail header should look like this:

Content-Type: application/pdf;
  name="filename.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: inline;
  filename="filename.pdf"


What do I have to do to send PDF-attachments as base64-coded
MIME-attachments ?

Funny: a word-file it attached correctly ....

Content-Type: application/msword;
  name="filename.doc"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: inline;
  filename="filename.doc"


Best regards,

      Thilo W. Pannen
