Thanks for the reply. I've checked with the sender.

1. The sender is using Yahoo (web based) email.

2. I don't think the user has any control over the message format with
this email client.
Looking in the message source I see the message text is sent both as
plain text:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

and HTML:

Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Headers for the attachment a

Content-Type: application/pdf; name="Publisher newsletter *FEBRUARY
2008.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Description: 2126997828-Publisher newsletter *FEBRUARY
2008.pdf
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Publisher newsletter
FEBRUARY 2008.pdf"

1. Sender's probably using MS Outlook.

2. Ask Sender to re-send using Plain Text format.

3. Ask Sender (and any other correspondents who use MS Outlook) to
only send messages to your using Plain Text.

A sender is trying to send *me aPDFattachment. Not certain what
mailer
he's using but I think it's Yahoo. However, I never see the
attachment.

If I view the incoming message source I can see the encoded
attachment but
there is no attachment icon showing in the inbox.

I can send aPDFto myself without a problem, the sender says other
people
can receive thePDFfrom him. I have received similar files before
from the
same sender without problems.

This problem appears to be similar to that raised in a recent
earlier
thread.

Grateful for any ideas or suggestions.

Hi,

Maybe the pdf attachment is corrupt or something. If it's true, you
can try a utility called Advanced PDF Repair to repair your PDF file.
It works rather well for my corrupt PDF files. Its web address is

Hope this will help.
