hello all,

please skip this mail and excuse the noise if you hate slightly OT posts.

I recently got attachments which were really pdfs but couldn't be detected as
such because they had strange content-type names:

application/x-coremedia-dynamic
application/force-download

I wrote .mailcap-entries so that they get displayed but i couldn't find out
where these names come from. Coremedia seems to be some marketing company and
force-download.com is an ugly site that I couldn't make sense of. 

How come some people trying to attach pdfs (presumably via a webmail client)
get these strange content-type entries and what might be the benefit?

(My first paranoic thought is allways "mafia".)

jan
