Re: PDF Attachment not showing in Inbox

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 are:

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 a PDF attachment. 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 a PDF to myself without a problem, the sender says other
people
can receive the PDF from 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.
