Thanks very much for this tip, Steve. I suspect that Deron is correct and
that it was sending the .pdf file with YAM which screwed the file up and
made it unreadable (when saved as text and not binary) as PDF.

Thanks! I'll try what you suggest,

Steve

G'day Steven Folberg,

Be aware YAM in no way modifies the contents of what is attached. It's
merely a problem of MIME identification. If YAM hasn't identified the
attachment properly in the first place, the receiving e-mail client may
not understand how to handle the attachment.

By adding the correct PDF MIME identification in YAM, this is no longer a
problem.

I have had trouble sending PageStream files by Yam. It seems Yam only sent
one of the jpg's in the file that I sent to someone else with PageStream 4
also. I had to LHA the file to keep it intact.
