PDF Corruption - KB937625 Workaround?

[jciconsult]

We are having serious problems sending PDFs to Outlook clients on MS Exchange
Server. See the KB937625. We do not have control over the recipients sites
and so cannot get them to install the hot fix. However, it is very important
the include PDFs in HTML messsages generated on Apache-based list managers.
Can anyone suggest a work around?

files?

Zip them before sending.

Corporate desktops often don't support zips but I am going to try a test to
see what happens.

If you have Windows XP or Vista, zipping is built into the operating system.
It's called a "Compressed Folder".
