hi Jim,

I've been asked to email a newsletter (pdf) in the email body,
not as an attachment.

MIME e-mail has a keyword that tells the client whether data should be treated as in-line or attachment. You could, therefore, code a PDF as an inline document.

However, I don't know what would happen when the mail client reads the message. I strongly suspect the e-mail client would pop up a message to the user that would say "I don't know how to handle PDF inline, would you like to view this as an attachment?" (But I haven't tried that yet.)

So you could certainly code it, and it'd be perfectly legal by e-mail standards, but I don't know if the client would be able to read it the way you intended?
