In Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2001, when you search
for words in a .pdf file that is attached to an e-mail message, you cannot
search the words on the Portal site.
This problem is caused by the MIME IFilter that SharePoint
Portal Server uses. SharePoint Portal Server cannot create an index for e-mail
messages that have attached .pdf files.
This problem was first fixed in a hotfix that is now contained in a service pack. If you have installed SharePoint Portal Server 2001 Service Pack 3 or a later service pack, you do not have to apply the hotfix.
