If your content has .pdf extension, &nbsp;it is a Portable Document Format and needs adobe acrobat or equivalent reader, while a file ending in .doc is probably meant to be opened in Microsoft Word. <br /> <br /> In addition to the generic application/octet-stream content type, you may also encounter attachments that have different subtypes (e.g., application/postscript, application/x-macbinary, and application-msword). They are similar to application/octet-stream, but apply to specific kinds of files.<br /> <br /> No matter what kind of file it is, an application/octet-stream attachment is rarely viewable in an email, Usenet, or web client. If you are using a text-based client, such as Pine, trn, or Lynx, save the attachment to your account, and then transfer it to your personal computer using SFTP.
