Welcome to the twilight zone.

We get a (paper) contract in that we need to sign & forward off to the  
attorneys. Preferably today.

Had the secretary scan it with her flat bed HP scanner, convert to  
PDF, then she e-mails the PDF to my e-mail address from her computer.  
I try to send the PDF out as an attachment.  Wait for forever, and  
then the e-mail screen dumps.

OK, our broadband is too busy (cable) or problem at Vert-Biz. So I try  
my other account. Same thing happens???

Well, since the PDF is sitting in my e-mail account I figure I have an  
internet problem, so I'll go home and try it. (Same ISP but different  
system--I live 18 miles from the station, in a different state).

Exact same problem.  Can't send the PDF attachment. OK, open it in my  
full copy of Adobe and edit it by inserting a cover page, then save  
again. Maybe that will "wash" the file.  Still no luck. Try to e-mail  
myself (from one account to the other). Same thing.  E-mailed  
something else from one account to the other (a PDF copy of a Volumax  
manual I had on my computer). Goes through just fine.
Now I am having my partner bring the original home so that I can scan  
on my tired Canon multi-function. (Doesn't make great scans anymore,  
for some odd reason. Copies-yes, scans, no.)  Want to get this out  
tonight.

Never saw this before.  Do I need to find an exorcist?  Or--being more  
rational,
is there something that attached itself to the PDF that the e-mail  
servers find objectionable?  Like--to continue the twilight zone  
analogy, the gremlin sitting on the air plane wing that only one  
passenger can see.
