The individual receives a message saying simply 'Part x of 67 of a multipart
message'. each message has attached a chunk of unformatted data (presumably
a 67th of the original PDF) for example:

The size (number of parts) of the message and the number of times that
it is repeated appears to varies with the size of the original
attached PDF.

I can't see an obvious way to look at Mailman's post log or the MTA's
log - I access Mailman mailing lists via CPanel provide by my webhost.

See above....

Thanks for your input...
