But I have send several people pdf files with type="application/pdf" And these people did not see the attachments (they see it in thunderbird). Be it as it be, I would like to send my pdf files as application/octet-stream which can be read by MacMail. This is not a perfect solution, but it works. Is there any variable in gnus I have to set that in case of a pdf file application/octet-stream is chosen instead of application/pdf Thanks Uwe Brauer
