I've seen the problem repeatedly with the Mail.app and AOL.
It only affects PDF documents. Sometimes, the PDF is missing and other times it is truncated to 4k.
The same message comes through intact with other mail clients. Going through the source, what I observe is that some of the headers are missing. I think that it fails to read the headers properly and strips them -- and the attachment -- upon receipt.
The solution is to zip the PDFs.
...
Mail also has a problem sending multiple PDF documents where it sends malformed headers, making it look like there is no attachment.
The real fix for all Mail.app problems is to use Entourage.
