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)
I think you misunderstood what I said. If I send a .pdf file in a test
message to myself using the SeaMonkey email client, and then read that
message using the SeaMonkey email client, I see the lines of code inline
in the body of the message. But I also see the attachment as a file in
the attachments box, so the attachment comes through but with all the
extraneous lines in the message body.
On the other hand, if I use the web-based email client of my Yahoo
account and send a message with an attached .pdf file to myself, and
then read that message using the SeaMonkey email client, I get the
attachment *only* in the attachments box, and nothing in the body of the
message other than what should normally be in the message body.
And while this problem occurs with .pdf attachments, it does not occur
with .jpg attachments.
