Finally I discovered that the problem originates in the email themselves : a wrong Content-Type tag is set for the PDF file attached. In one occasion it reads : "Content-Type: =?windows-1252?q?application/pdf;" In another : "Content-Type: text/plain;" When it is correct : "Content-Type: application/pdf;", there's no problem.
I also tested different webmail intallations : they react variously to this problem. Some are OK, some not at all. Also note that the incoming PDF files themselves are not corrupt, WHEN they are correctly saved to the hard disk, they are OK. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/924566 Title: evince claims a corrupt PDF file that could not open is a "text/plain" file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/924566/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
