In which case I'm not convinced it's a MailScanner problem. Note that
Outlook does encode PDF files incorrectly, and some other mail systems may
render them unusable due to this bug in Outlook. I expect the same
(incorrect) code is used in Exchange too, if you are connecting Outlook to
Exchange via MAPI.
