I'm no MIME expert, but one thing that looks odd to me is that your PDF attachment (an octet-stream), and your plain text message are both within "BoundaryOne". I wonder if the multipart boundary is not properly terminated.

Maybe someone can clarify this, or you might research MIME protocol at http://www.w3.org/
