Short of zipping the .pdf=20 before it is sent or letting a mail client retrieve it=20 instead of webdna, I don't see any way around this problem. If this task is particularly important and not just a=20 proof-of-concept exercise, you'll probably save time by=20 putting a mail client on the server and making it check the=20 mail account you're currently checking with webdna. Then=20 let webdna find the downloaded file in the mail client's=20 folders and do something with it from there.
