Evolution had sent the attachment with the file type noted as text/plain. I meant to track this down a bit more and file a proper bug report (Gnome sure knows what a PDF is and what file extension it has, and what apps to throw it to), but I never got around to it. I bet something similar

Will all of you folks who chimed in on this go take a look at bug 6024 - it describes the same problem. Of particular interest would be what kernel version you're running and if any of you are running something other than linux (i.e. solaris, etc.). On Fri, Nov 02, 2001 at 10:44:04AM +,

FWIW, after literally months of gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair over this bug, we reproduced and discovered the source of the bug today. The mail developers are trying to figure out the best solution as we speak and it'll be fixed by Monday. Luis On Fri, 2001-11-02 at 19:11, Mike Barnes
