That should at least enable you to load the appropriate viewer if in X and assuming your mailcap file is correctly set up. > All of my PDF attachments have octet-stream...is that because it's not > reading from mailcap or something else? I see two possible issues: On one hand you see octet-stream when you attach PDFs in your own messages, then there is a mime-type problem on your side and on the other hand if the issue shows up only on the mail you received, it's just that the sender failed to put the correct MIME-type. hth, Olivier. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
