It is the same problem one has if you apply any Linux program to such a file. In this case the attachment file was: Konstam plan description.pdf When I try to open it with Adobe Reader it tried to open a file called Konstam which it claimed was a Binary file. I am not sure that my solution would work consistently. I pretended to forward the file in a way that the attachment was still present. The attachment here was in a more tractable form which allowed me to insert extra characters to allow me to open the file. However, the e-mail was wrapped in a security envelope so I don't know whether what I did would work with a normal e-mail. -- ======================================================================= Sendmail may be safely run set-user-id to root. -- Eric Allman, "Sendmail Installation Guide" ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
