Correct,

The PDFs work fine prior to being handed to MailScanner however.  This is a
replicable problem I've uploaded a PDF for you at
http://www.platformhosting.com/pdf/pdf.pdf

The issue happens when sending from Outlook 2003, not with Mozilla.  The PDF
is encoded using Acrobat 6.

I personally couldn't see a signing issue either :(
