Mail, pdf attachments appear in body, not as pdf file

[rct]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

I am trying to attach a pdf file to an email message.

I keep getting the actual pdf in the body of the email message,
as opposed to an actual attachment for the receiver to open and possibly print out.

Playing around, I managed to get a icon (camera, piece of paper) to appear in the body of the email message,
but don't know what I did,
and haven't been able to duplicate it.

Hope someone can help.
Thanks from Connecticut

Are you talking about Mail.app, the mail application that comes with Mac OS
X? These newsgroups are for Microsoft Office for Mac; you'd better post your
questions on Apple's discussion boards. However, if you are using Entourage:
drag the attachment into the attachment section, just below the subject
field.

How are you trying to do the attachment ‹ If you just click the Attach
"paperclip" button & select the file it should be inserted as an icon. If
you're using the Photo Browser button to drop PDF images into the email that
would explain the result.

I'm assuming that you're using Apple's Mail app so for further assistance on
any problem you need to contact Apple Support or the appropriate Apple Form
that deals with Mail issues:

If you're using Entourage you'll need to provide exact version info for OS X
& Office as well as a detailed description of what you're doing that causes
the unwanted result.
