This patch will be rejected.  It is not a MIME-Tools issue; rather, it's
a consequence of the way MIMEDefang and MailScanner hand the message off
to MIME-Tools.

"Fixing" PDF files will "break" other files.  It is simply inappropriate to
transmit PDF files using Quoted-Printable encoding, and any software that
does so deserves to have its PDF attachments broken.
