Thanks for all the responses. Made all files current except left SA at
2.63 (though after seeing the Clam 2.x SA problems - which I don't seem
to have - I guess I need to do that too now) I now have MIME::Tools
5.410 and MD 2.51, brought MIME::Base64 up to date too.

Disclamer problem solved at all but one of the recipients. Funny though
Acrobat 7 now opens the "damaged" PDF.

BTW can anyone tell me which the correct version to use of MailTools
please. On CPAN two are mentioned with a search

Distribution    G/GB/GBARR/MailTools-1.15.tar.gz
Distribution    M/MA/MARKOV/MailTools-1.67.tar.gz

I used the GBARR 1.15 ver as that was closest to the 1.14 ver on the MD
download page?

Also is there away that I can see the version of CPAN perl modules
installed. Ie How can I wourk out what version of MIME::Base64 I have
installed if I used CPAN to do the install?

Thanks - Jon.
