sending a PDF mail attachment in iOS7

[Scott Morrow]

There appears to be discussion of, what I assume is our problem, in the Apple Support Communities.

<https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5992793>
<https://discussions.apple.com/message/25177460#25177460>

This would indicate that it isn’t a LC issue.
