Sorry; either you need to become more specific with your problem
description, or else you need to wait until someone here becomes
telepathically gifted and can clue the rest of us in.

Well, perhaps I have the same problem as you have, so let me try to
explain it a bit further:

A client of us sends an e-mail with a PDF attachment. The e-mail stays
in our mailqueue. Below is a result of a postcat of that e-mail. Next,
the mail is sent to SpamAssassin. If I run spamassassin manually with
the e-mail, the message gets through it. When sent and analysed
automatically, the e-mail is reinjected into postfix with the famous
reinject.perl-script. That's when things go wrong: the e-mail is
received by the client, but the attachment has disappeared.

I've been having this problem for a couple of weeks now, and have no
clue; I think it has something to do with the way the attachment is
attached to the e-mail (Content-Disposition: inline), and the strange
boundaries... Maybe someone can help me with it....

De postcat-version of the e-mail is:
