In practice, PDFs are used in emails for 2 (inline) purposes:

1. Documents. These are always displayed as attachments in MailMate. 
This is because MailMate has never been able to display multi-page 
documents inline. (The “new” message view would possibly make this 
easier to add, but I haven't tried.)
2. Images. In this case, the PDF format is used instead of a “real” 
image format like PNG. MailMate can more easily display these inline 
since it's done just like the inlining of other images.

The setting described above tells MailMate to never inline PDFs -- 
including the second case. You might want this if MailMate fails to 
properly make a distinction between the two cases (which happens 
heuristically).
