Subject: problem with pdf attachment
Date: 03 Mar 2000 14:32:09 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <kh7zosfc0jq.fsf@acme47.nineco.com> (raw)


The message where this bug occurred involved a very large attachment,
so if anyone needs to see the problem _in situ_, I can forward it to
them, or put it on my website.

I got an application/pdf attachment sent from:

X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.7 [fr] (Win98; I)

When I saved the attachment by right-clicking the button, I got a file 
that pdf viewers didn't recognize.  It looked like it was still
encoded -- all the lines were the same length, and consisted entirely
of ascii characters.  When my correspondent zipped the pdf and sent it 
as an application/octet-stream it decoded and unzipped fine.  I don't
know whether this is a problem with the mozilla encoding or the gnus
decoding, but something is wrong.
