Allowing PDF files

[Dave Filchak]

Well .. then I think you have been fortunate. Even Julian admitted that
there was some issues with Outlook or Express that mangled PDF file.
Apparently, someone was working on a patch for this for users of Outlook
but I have seen nothing come along. My issue was with PDF files which
were created with Quickbooks and then sent through Outlook. They always
ended up as empty documents. When I switched to Mozilla and send the
very same PDF files, they were fine. If I sent PDF files through Outlook
with MailScanner disabled, they were fine. So it appears to be a
combination of the applications involved.
