The pdf is surely encoded in Base64 format (I don't think this is
contradictory with the header mentioning quoted printable). Maybe the pdf is
quite huge, so that decoding base64 brings emacs down to its knees. You
should try to tell vm to use external programs for the conversion. Put that
into your .vm :
(setq vm-mime-base64-decoder-program "/usr/local/bin/mmencode")) ; change
;the path if it is elsewhere
(setq vm-mime-base64-decoder-switches '("-b" "-u"))
