sending a PDF mail attachment in iOS7

[Alan Stenhouse]

Hi Scott, William

Did you try setting the MIME type for the attachment to "application/pdf" instead of just "pdf"?

i.e.

put "application/pdf" into aAttachments[1]["type"]

Worth a try though I admit that I haven't used this yet (but with other types I have).

HTH

cheers

Alan
