It's been while, but shouldn't this line read:
$mime .= "\r\n$attach\r\n";
Just to ensure that no extra characters get included witht he file? I
don't think it matters much with PDFs, but it would definitely break
other files.

You forgot the trailing -- here, so this line should read:
$mime .= "--$boundary--\r\n";
Otherwise the mail clients assume there is another part to the MIME
message (which defaults to empty). And the last part is always the one
that is intended to be viewed. , So it displays the empty one.

Once again, it's been awhile, but I believe the best way to do this is
to put only the main body headers into the header variable ($mime in
this case), and put the parts in the body So the body itself is split
into the parts.
This is probably contributing to the problem as well.
