I been using Evolution for months and months. Recently. recipients of
my attachments started complaining that they can't open then. The
attachments were PDF files. I have sent other attachments, like zip
files, and received no complaints.

After checking file sizes, I found that the file received by the user
is a different size than it is on my system. For example, the attached
PDF file is 7972 bytes on my system, but I'm betting no one on this
list will be able to open it. When I received it and saved it, the
file size became 6133 bytes.

Oddly enough, it's being identified in your message as a plain text
file. That could have something to do with your problem. Since the file
is being given the wrong MIME type, a lot of clients will have trouble
translating it appropriately.

Here's the appropriate lines from the beginning of the attachment, as
shown in the mail source view:

--=-f3mjmXVMml4IImtfUyrp
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="GAP UNIQUE.pdf"
Content-Type: text/plain; name="GAP UNIQUE.pdf"; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
