I recently had to send a document to my uncle and a cousin, so I
converted it to PDF first. It turned out that their mail provider (the
same provider in both cases) rejected mail with a PDF attachment. I'm
going to have to send it by snail mail.

Came across this looking at some older posts.
Something I've successfully used many times
in the past is to simply change the file
extension (to ".txt" for example) and let the
recipient know to save it with the correct
extension. If the mailer only looks at the
file name this gets through. Have not had to
do this for quite a while, so YMMV.
