Try converting the pdf to html or text at
http://access.adobe.com/access

base64 is probably unicode UTF-8. Pine can read UTF-8 html or text, 'mail' cannot.

Maybe Adobe will also convert the UTF-8.

People have started sending me (English) mails in UTF-8.
Some new idiotic default. Ask your company to send ASCII instead.

If the above does not work, attach one of these pdf's and I
will try to read it.

Hi, Baslinfans
I am using the mailclient from bl3.5.
My provider sends my bill as they say pdf.
When i try to open it, mail says its a pdf base64.
I know how to watch HTML files with mail:
Open it with text/html, then, on an other console,
take links and open /tmp/tempfile1.tmp ,
switch links from source to html.
So I took the tempfile and tried to open it
with base64 and with pdf2txt.
But all fails. Does someone have an idea?
