Whenever I try to send someone a .pdf file as an attachment, the coding

attachments box in the message window, (as well as the lines of code in
the message body) but apparently people using other email clients are
unable to find or view the file. All they see is the lines of code.
If I send a .jpg file as an attachment, it works fine and doesn't have
this problem. I've looked for an incorrect configuration setting, but
haven't been able to find it. BTW, this is SeaMonkey v1.1.19. I'm not
quite ready to go to v2.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
From the sound of it, nothing. If your outgoing message is well-formed
(as proven by the fact that you can view a copy), the configuration
problem is at your recipient's end.
Test questions:
1) Does this happen with all senders, or just with you? (I'm guessing
all who send PDFs)
2) Does this happen with all recipients, or just one or two? (I'm
guessing one or two Outlook users)
If you confirm my hypothesis, it sounds like they've got their program
set to view attachments in the body of the message even if it doesn't
know how. For JPEGs, that would be fine because most email programs know
how to display them.
