This *exact* problem was discussed in the archives awhile back. If memory serves me correctly the problem then was that the email client used a generic type of mime file type identifier rather than a more proper one that identified the file type properly as pdf.
Mailman then treats this as a generic file and renames it with a generic extension. A patch was generated so that Mailman no longer changed the file extension. A look in the archives might prove useful to you. Jon Carnes On Mon, 2003-12-22 at 16:57, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I have not had any response on this.
