Ah, I misunderstood you.  I thought that YOU were attaching PDFs and
they were going out as application/x-msword.  You're saying incoming
messages have that MIME type set.  That's ... not really an exmh problem,
I think.  You'd have to talk to the people who send them to you.

(I guess something on your system seems to think x-msword is msword, but
I do not know what that us; it does not look like there is code to
strip off x- prefixes of mime types, but who knows, maybe it is in there
and I'm missing it).
