Most likely the problem is that your Mutt doesn't know what content-type
to apply to the PDF data file, so it gets attached as type "application/
octet-stream", which the remote MUA doesn't know what to do with.
There should be a "mime.types" file that came with Mutt. You should
install it in a place where Mutt can find it, or in ~/.mime.types if you
are not the system administrator. It has mappings for various file
types to content-types. For instance:
application/pdf pdf
