My guess is the problem is with doc-view mode and possibly guns setup. I
had a similar issue some years back, but cannot quite remember how I
resolved it. My problem was that I had elisp I wrote which would use
external viewers for various document types (e.g. word doc, pdf, etc),
but when I tried to use it, Emacs would jump in the middle and use
docView mode to display it inside emacs itself.
From memroy, the basic fix was to turn off doc-view-mode (posibly check
out the customization group). With respect to gnus (and other mailers),
most of them include some sort of variable which sets which mime types
can be displayed internally. If you don't want to completely disable
doc-view-mode, you should be able to change this setting to say that
PDFs are tro be displayed externally using whatever program is
associated with that mime type.
