Check your "Plain Text Mode" setting under Mail Preferences -> HTML Messages and make sure it's set to "Show HTML if present" (at least for the purpose of diagnosing this problem). As I vaguely recall there was some policy debate about how these options should handle HTML parts that led to us adding a "Show suppressed HTML parts as attachments" check box in 2.29. What you're encountering may be one of the bugs that led to that debate. Perhaps also give 2.29 a try, if you can.
