Yes. The PDFs in question were "binary" PDFs with embedded ^Z. On Windows 
this is EOF marker for text files. I suppose that there is some issue 
interpreting text/pdf or application/pdf as text file or something - I 
don't remember the Content-Type header neither the disposition setting. I 
copied the Maildir file into my account and could open the PDF with pine 
fine.

I repacked the PDF into a Zip, which worked then.

BTW: The sender never used Windows, but Linux and FreeBSD. Funnily the 
recipient was the same person all the time.

Bye,
