That sounds more plausible. I don't quite how the disclaimer is added
but it is feasible that the process of doing that is causing the
problem. Patching Exchange to behave properly (i.e. base64'ing PDF's)
seems the most sensible route, although I realise that there is a lot of
experience in adapting Unix programs to cater for the wierdness of
Bill-ware! ;-)

Am I right in thinking Julian's back next week? He will understand
what's going on here...

Cheers,

Martin
