RE: opening a PDF from AS/400 on T-Mobile phone

["Bradley V. Stone" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Content-type for the attachment shouldn't make a difference.  That's mainly
for the body content.  Attachments are a little different.

Are you sure the < and > shouldn't be there?  I know with my software some
users have had troubles opening PDFs because of the version of PDF that is
created.  For some reason they want a higher version than is listed, even if
all that's change is the version number in the PDF!  (very wrong if you ask
me).

You're welcome to try out sending the file with my MAILTOOL utility to
debug.. free trials are available so go for it.  :)
