Hmm, can't see why this should be a problem.
Have you tried sending a pdf file to yourself, and then verifying it
looks OK? Try checking the md5sum of the file before sending and after
receiving to see if it has changed.
I take it you're just using the normal attachment procedure (a to attach
file, and so on)?
