Remember that PM prior to v5.0 truncates filenames at 31 characters. So, if a PC person were to send a PDF file via MIME but the .pdf got truncated, PM might not know how to assign it and Mac OS X might not know how to open it, either. (You'll have a blank icon to click on.) (MIME attachments will often not have the netadata to be clickable anyway; mail programs usually assign it via the extensions.)
I would just control-click the attachment's icon in the email, choose "SHow in Finder" and then change the name to have a .pdf on the end (or .doc orwhatever the file needs). -- Michael Lewis Off Balance Productions [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.offbalance.com
