I was sending my manager a copy of a form, and attached it (not inline),

message source, t-bird had decided that the mime type was all/allfiles,
though the name ended in .pdf. I've searched via the config editor, and
I've been googling, and not finding anything. (I just *adore* the current
google: I have +"all/allfiles" in the search terms, and in the para it
displays on a hit I see "all somethingorother", with the word "all"
bolded....)

Anyone got ideas? I've looked in
.thunderbird/<blah>.default/mime_types.rdf, and everything looks good in
there.

Did you check the mime type of the file? just because it says PDF does not make that true.
You can use file to check it.
