Content filtering causes attachments of various types to be removed
before delivery/digesting/archiving. It will remove attachments from
all messages, but it won't affect how attachments that are not removed
are archived.

That is exactly what is happening. The message has been archived and
the PDF attachment has been removed and stored separately in the
archive and a link to the PDF attachment is included in the archived
message. It should say (where example.com is your actual web host)

Url :
http://example.com/pipermail/coholist_cohousing-corvallis.com/attachments/20061012/86e2d42a/attachment.pdf

If the 'http://example.com' is truly missing from the archived message
and not just omitted in your email above, then the PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL
setting is misconfigured in the Mailman installation
