[Tutor] pdf file as attachment

[Kent Johnson]

I think you need to send the pdf with the mime type 'application/pdf' 
instead of text. Here is an example that may help you:

Alternatively you might write your own MIMEPdf class by modifying MIMEText 
- if you look at Python/Lib/email/MIMEText.py there is not much there to 
modify.
