Title:
  evince claims a corrupt PDF file that could not open is a "text/plain"
  file

Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  EDITED

  This PDF file came as an email attachment. It weights originaly 86 KB.

  1. In Thunderbird the file can never be opened by evince.
  In evince, the error message says it could not open it because it is a "text/plain" file.

  2. When the file is saved to the hard disk from Thunderbird, sometimes
  (but not always !) the file is corrupt (truncated to 2 KB - see
  attachment).

  If the file is correctly saved to the hard disk, then it opens
  allright.

  If the file is truncated, evince produces the same error message than
  when opening from Thunderbird.

  So, despite the fact that an error message appears in evince, it seems
  that the problem comes from Thunderbird.

  Yet THE ERROR MESSAGE IN EVINCE IS NOT CORRECT : the file is not
  "text/plain", it is corrupt. This is not a very serious bug but it
  brings confusion.

  Note that in Nautilus, the mime type of the corrupt file is displayed
  correctly as "application/pdf".
