Attachment #574567 - Attachment mime type: application/octet-stream → text/plain
The PDF attachment is incorrectly put into a multipart/related context: > ------=_Part_9513_28698315.1320853697068 > Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="PW51_09_11_2011.pdf" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 > Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="PW51_09_11_2011.pdf" Thus, the message is strictly speaking malformed, but a bug is pending to allow such constructs again after bug 351224. For the time being, go into Tools > Options > Advanced > General and click Config Editor there. Search for mailnews.display.show_all_body_parts_menu and set it to true by double-clicking on the preference, then View > Message Body As > All Body Parts will allow you to access the PDF attachment.
