Public bug reported:
This PDF file came as an email attachment.
The file is correctly opened on Windows XP using free software SumatraPDF .
In Evince 3.2.1, the error message says it could not open it because it
is a "text/plain" file. (Ubuntu 11.10 gnome classic).
In Nautilus, the mime type is displayed as "application/pdf".
On another computer with Ubuntu 10.10 and Evince 2.32.0 the behavior is
different :
- from the email client (Thunderbird), trying to open the file leads to the
same error ;
- when the file is saved on the hard disk, then it can be opened correctly.
With evince 3.2.1. it never opens.
