Thanks, Greg!  The problem seems to be solved, but I'm not sure why.  I 
checked my Eudora setup, and all seemed well.  I went into the "TEST" group 
admin page, and changed the setting for message size from the default of 
40K to 120K -- the actual PDF attachment I was testing with is 39K -- and 
re-started Sendmail to ensure all was clean with it's load, aliases.db 
file, etc.  I then re-sent the message, and all came through properly.
